The real test would be in a position in which there is no king safety, BUT the tactics do NOT work. THIS is not a good proof to anything if the tactics DO work! However, to the naked human eye, this position looks TREMENDOUS for white. After only pxp played by white, then all whites pieces are teamed up against blacks king except for the rook on e1 which is very easy to get onto the d-file quickly. Whereas black is completely blocked up. So I believe I would EASILY sacrifice a piece for such a position (if it were otherwise equal), and I'd guess a computer would do it even more confidently. The tactics are definitely there. BUT a computer needs to see in black and white, but it looks SO imminent anyway that I'd expect the computer to immeadiately realize multiple new problems in every 100th of a second. YES! this position is not the problem! The problem is HOW TO GET into such a position. Never mind about a missing piece! S.Taylor
