Crafty 19.4 - Junior 8.0.0.2
[D]2q1r1k1/5p1p/2P5/p1rn2p1/Qb1Nn3/6PP/1P4BK/R1B2R2 b - - 0 1
Not a bad testposition at all - 26. ..Nxg3 is not so easy to find for some
engines. White is toast.
Crafty itself can't find it in an acceptable time on my Athlon 2600+ at all.
Ruffian and Yace need some time too.
25. ..g5 is even more difficult if it has to be found with the right idea.
Junior played this as a positional sacrifice in fact (who says computers can't
sac?) and still had some work to do to find the next moves.
It hit Crafty (and the spectator ;) ) completely out of the blue, although if
you have seen it is not so tough to understand why it works.
Thanks for the chess lesson, Junior!
