I think 10 ... h6? is probably the big mistake. Trying three strong engines: Ruffian 1.0.1: g6 immediately, Kh8 after 2 seconds, h6 after 12 seconds, Kh8 after 62 seconds (and stays there). Aristarch 4.2.1: h6 immediately, Nxg4 after 2 seconds (and stays there). Yace Paderborn: g6 immediately (and stays there). All on an Athlon XP 2800+, 512MB RAM. None of those moves are particularly wonderful, although g6 is certainly least bad; that you had the opening book switched off explains a lot. I suggest that, with the opening book switched on, no "advanced" program nowadays would let itself get in the position after move 10 and would have steered clear well before. Alastair
