Go up one level in this thread


I let the Hiarcs 6 engine on Chessbase analyse this position to about 12 ply
each move.  It chose Qc2 rather than Qxd4 as its initial move with the main line
being Queen manuevers that were rather repetitive.  Starting with the position
after Qxd4, exd4 it produced the following:

2 f4  e5      3Kd3 h5    4fe  Kxe5    5 c5  g5    6 c6  Kd6    7 Kxd4  h4

8 gh  gh and draws since the white King can stop the pawn.

Generally the 12 ply took about 1-2 minutes to reach though much faster in
forced positions obviously.

Regards,

Dave
