How fast was the computer you used? My computer is Intel Pentium IV at 1 GHz, single processor. It took a lot longer than one minute per move!!!! The thing about the position which amazed me is that it occurred in one of my games. I do not use a chess engine when playing. I am an amateur and NOT a GM. It is hard to see this stuff when you don't "cheat." It was during post mortem analysis, when I used Fritz 8, that the weakness of White's position became evident, to my great surprise. Everything I tried, and I tried everything, led to the same result . . . that White was lost. I was amazed. Bob D.
