Here is a test position for the not so strong chess engine like mine. If you
like to test this with a strong chess engine then that's fine, I would also be
interested in knowing how many nanoseconds it takes to find the best move just
so I can feel demoralised.
[D]3rr1k1/3b3p/1q2p1p1/p3P3/2p1B3/P3P1P1/2Q2P1P/2R1R1K1 w - - 0 28
This position came from the very first game Kanguruh 1.5 (not available for
download yet) played to test its newly implemented hash tables. I was surprised
when I saw what looked like a bishop scrifice by playing 28. Bxg6. LarsenVB
quickly loses the game after taking the bishop, the correct answer would have
been to not take the bishop. Time control was 40/40.
Here is the whole game...
