Nf2 doesn't seem to be forced, nor threatening something strongl etc. (?). When you say it's the correct move, are the alternatives incorrect, or significantly weaker? I don't see anything special here in the sense of a "test" move. The position is covered by some computer opening books, which of course isn't surprising when K&K played it, but that doesn't make it a good test move automatically... (Maybe it's just meant as a good positional decision or the like, but it's known that this kind of tests tend to be very ambigous.) >Hiarcs9 struggles with this, really struggles, because of its low ply search >maybe?? Hiarcs is a low *node rate* engine, but I think in general it's not a low ply depth engine (although I admit I didn't compare typical depths in the same time yet). - That comparision can be different depending on the position, too.
