Subject: Test Position

Author: John Merlino

This position is from CM9000 Judge v Shredder 8 in Round 35 of Graham Banks'
"Super Tournament II".

[D]1r5k/3qn1pp/3bNp2/1r1P4/1pN5/1Q5P/3R1PP1/3R2K1 w - - 0 39

Both sides have passed pawns that are well protected, but White has a strong
Knight on e6 that cannot easily be dislodged. What does CMJudge play?

Nd4!! giving up the outpost and the passed pawn with one move! CM_SKR needs 2:11
to find this move on an AMD 2500+.
