Hi Harald,

IsiChess (XP2.8+) needs 10 seconds to find more than draw with Ke3. Appropriate
winning score after 0:28 (+3.75).

But it stays with 1.Ke3 and did not change to 1.c4 until i stopped after 5
minutes with +7:

1.Ke3 Kg5 2.c4 bxc3 3.a4

even after playing 1.Ke3 Kf6 i find winning score soon.
Is 1.c4 really a faster win, or do i have some kind of path history problem?

Regards,
Gerd

btw. Bologan seems to be a Caro-Kann expert...
