I think there is a fundamental difference between "guessing" (eval) and "knowing" (search), at least when it comes to tactical test suites. Of course if your eval is super tuned then guessing can almost be as accurate as knowing :) >In this case, the reason for busting up the position is it deems white's >king position as untenable.

Anyway, the material balance is nearly equal even after "the sac", it is possible it should be viewed as an interesting exchange rather than a real sac. -S. >-- >GCP
