I just played up to this point and let Black think. After 8 seconds pn my
machine it does not want to castle anymore, with the score going from +14 to -7,
switching to ...d4 after 26 seconds. After a 11-ply search is completed (6:11)
it is sticking with ...d4.

Just another comment about the prior play: Black's opening was horrible. Moving
the Archbishop and the Queen as the first pieces to be delpoyed is practically a
strategical loss from the onset.

The King Safety issue will be addressed as well.

Thanks for the games!
