Subject: Test Position

Author: John Merlino

This position is from The King v Diep in the recent ICT4.

[D]r3k2r/pp1bppbp/2n3p1/8/8/2N1B1P1/PP2PPBP/2RK3R w kq - 0 13

The Chessmaster 9000 database has two games with this position, played by top
GMs (Andersson v Leko in 1996 and Smirin v Alterman in 1998). In both cases,
White played f4 and won.

The King, however, chose Kc2 and is soon forced over to a3.

Here is what CM_SKR on an AMD 2500+ says about this position:
