CM_SKR gives a score of 0.76 for White in this position: > >[D]r2qr1k1/5pb1/2p1b1p1/p1Bnp2p/2B1N2P/5P2/PPPQ2P1/2KR3R w - h6 0 17 Right, this position looks good for White, if not won. Both programs were still in book. Jeroen Noomen today confirmed that 17.g4 should have been played instead of 17.Ng5? and blamed it on the tranposition of Black's h5 and a5. Though I can't imagine exactly how that transposition can be blamed, I'm sure he has already fixed this line. :-) Looks like I got away here. ... Johan
