Subject: A nice testposition - evaluation of a strong passed pawn

Taken from my game in 2.5 hr match (p4 2.47ghz):

Fritz 8 - SoS.3 Arena

[d] 2r5/n7/1p1kp2p/b3N1p1/P2PB1P1/2p4P/2K2P2/1R6 w - - 0 45

1.f4!


A beautiful pawn sac.  Black's pieces are offside and there is nothing it can do
to stop white's eventual strong, passed g-pawn.  This is a hard move to find for
most engines, but Fritz 8 found it very quickly and after a minute evaluated
itself greater than +1 pawn.
