This position, from game 4 of Kasparov-Deep Junior, is a great position for
theme tournaments, or just engine matches. GM Sergey Shipov, in his annotation
of this game, says about this position:

<quote>
I should note that chess engines are not very familiar with hedgehog-like
setups. They tend to overestimate White's space advantage and CAN'T come up with
(or calculate?) proactive plans.

It would be interesting to discover which engines do best from this position.
Here are the moves leading to this position.

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 e6 5. Nb5 d6 6. c4 Nf6 7. N1c3 a6 8. Na3
Nd7 9. Nc2 Be7 10. Be2 b6 11. O-O Bb7 *
