This called for a check from my side. In my setup the Baron (FRC Version) does
play 16..Qxh2. Michael, did you also use the FRC version?

But I'm puzzled about the next move of the Baron as it wants to play 17..O-O-O!
here instead of 17..Ncd7? (yes, FRC castling saves the day, moving the rook from
a8 to d8 and the king from b8 to c8).
However, the Baron 'standard' does play Ncd7 here as it obviously doesn't know
about FRC Castling.
As the FRC Baron scores the position after 17..O-O-O! as 1.83 for black after
somewhat more than a minute and the position after 17..Ncd7 as 0.22 for white
something is wrong here.
Jorge, do you by any chance have some logfiles to examine?

bye,
Richard.
