After Rxe6 Qxe6 Re1 Qf5 Qxf5 gxf5 this is the position that should justify the sac: [D] 2r1r3/p3bk1p/1pn2p1B/3n1p2/3P4/PB3N2/1P3PPP/4R1K1 w - - 0 4 White has sacced the exchange but wins a knight back, plus white has an extra pawn for it, being a freepawn, plus it has the bishoppair, plus better pawnstructure. Anyway, Tao evaluates this as +1.00 for white or so. And it will not *ever* play that sac because it evaluates the original position as slightly better, giving about 1.30 or so for attacking chances in the original position. I don't think there is a big crush, just a good endgame, that's all. Other opinions? Bas. On March 14, 2004 at 20:28:15, Bas Hamstra wrote: >This copy & paste from Shredder 5 is soooo cool.
