>In the article "Tactics from the Russian Team Champ" on the chessbase site ( >http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=1625 ) >We can see this position : [D]r1r3k1/3n1b2/p1qp3Q/1p2p2p/4P3/1PP1BP2/2P5/1K1R1B2 w - - 0 29 >with the comment "29.Bxb5!! ...this clearance sacrifice."; In fact Bxb5 is only >the third best move, Chessmaster 9000 confirms that with the 3 best moves mode : regardless of the number of moves to mate, Bxb5 is good cause it is 'evident' in human terms: it is mate or queen. Nobody would eriously play Nf8 to lose the queen and remain under attack. After Bh3 or Bc4 somebody could try to continue to play not seeing the mate. regards Franz
