Hi Uri,

[D]2r3k1/R4p2/1p2p1pp/1b1nQ3/3P3P/3q1PN1/5BP1/6K1 w - - 0 1

it's not about ZChess and it's score -> it's about the position which is in my
opinion really interesting. It seems that no engine favors white here and all
take a very long time to find the correct plan. Of course most will find Ne4 and
Kh2 -> but there score is totally wrong...

E.g. one line I was analyzing was:

1. Ne4 Be8 2. Kh2 Qf1 3. Be1! (The Queen can not take !) Rc2 4. Bd2 - and black
is more or less forced to give away the quality. To me it does not look so
extremely deep, anyway it seems that no engine at all has any idea what is going
on in the initial position...

Greets, Thomas
