Hooray, for the Carbon Base thinkers over the Silicon! It strikes me that either you didn't go far enough in your analysis, or you did more but just didn't mention it above. Most interesting would be to find out what the computer thought of the move after you forced it. The computer might not find the move, but after looking at the position following that move, the computer might then acknowledge that it was a good move. If the computer still does not acknowledge that the move was good, it may take a lot more analysis to rule out the possibility of horizon effects. [Does Alekhine give a suggested line?] All of the above assumes that the move was good, but even Alekhine could be wrong. Bob D.
