I gave the following position from the GCP test suite to Fritz8 and I asked it to analyze 2 options My conclusion is that Fritz8 beleives that it is a positional problem and the difference between the first move and the second move is only 0.25 pawns even after many minutes. [D]2k4r/1pp2ppp/p1p1bn2/4N3/1q1rP3/2N1Q3/PPP2PPP/R4RK1 w - - 0 1 Analysis by Fritz 8: 1. ² (0.59): 1.Nd5 cxd5 2.c3 Qxb2 3.Qxd4 Qb6 4.Qxb6 cxb6 5.exd5 Nxd5 6.Rfe1 b5 2. ² (0.34): 1.Rad1 Rxd1 2.Rxd1 Qb6 3.Qxb6 cxb6 4.f4 Nd7 5.Nxd7 Bxd7 6.Kf2 Rd8 7.f5 f6 (Blass, Tel-Aviv 23.01.2003) Note that latest Movei prefers Nd3 and the reason is not being unable to see the tactics of Nd5 Nd5 win a rook for a kinght and a pawn but white has 2 weak pawns(a2 and c3) I gave Fritz8 the main line that seemed to be forced from white point of view for tactical or positional reasons 1.Nd5 cxd5 2.c3 Qxb2 3.Qxd4 Qb6 4.Qxb6 cxb6 5.exd5 Nxd5 I asked it to analyze the position after 5...Nxd5 to see if Fritz can see more than 0.59 for white. Here is the result. Fritz8 cannot see improvement for white and the question is if white can win with Nd5(I am not sure about it).
