These are really good news and i had the hope that Yace could handle this. But
your statement that you will weaken your engine if it find 39..c3! quicker can´t
be the last word.Chessknowledge means that the player understands the case that
happened.If this pattern is not understood then it will never go over a
invisible line.Somethings you have to know, otherwise you wil be ever in the
darkness.
