Blind luck is a better explanation than an outstanding performance, I'm afraid. When I let the engine analyse the position after the game, it switched from 15. Bc4 to 15. Nd5+ (with a draw score) after about 15 seconds, and never returned to 15. Bc4. My current version (I change things very rapidly these days, trying to get a new public version ready in time for Class C of the RWBC tournament) doesn't like 15. Bc4 at all. >15.Bc4 is of course not ?!, it is a good move and not unsound at all. >It's not a novelty however. I'm surprised to learn that it is a known move, and even more surprised that it is not considered unsound. I agree with Alastair that 18... Qxb3+ looks like a win for black, but I cannot find any improvements for white before that. Thanks for the nice Sax-Cox game! Tord
