30.Nxf7!  A nice sacrifice of Amyan 1.591 against Wildcat 3.0 that some of the
best engines can't find it in the reasonable time of 4 minutes on a 1.5GHz PIV.
Shredder 8, Deep Fritz 8-7, Ruffian 2.0 can't find it. It's so easy that i guess
why? For Junior's and Chess Tiger's is very easy.
When i'm thinking that Shredder 8 can't see the famous sacrifice Bxh7! and plays
O-O, i hope programmers of top engines would give more attention to sacrifices
and be less materialistic.
