I played this corr. game almost 4 years ago: [Event "Hun - Est Team Friendly"] [Site "ICCF"] [Date "2000.07.26"] [Round "1"] [White "Szalai, Mihaly"] [Black "Narva, Regina"] [Result "1-0"] 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be3 Bg7 7.Be2 O-O 8.O-O Nc6 9.Nb3 Bd7 10.Kh1 Qc8 11.f4 Bg4 12.Bg1 Bxe2 13.Qxe2 Qg4 14.Qd2 Rfd8 15.h3 Qd7 16.Rad1 b5 17.Rfe1 Rab8 18.Nd5 e6 19.Nxf6+ Bxf6 20.e5 Bh4 21.exd6 Bxe1 22.Qxe1 Qe8 23.Nc5 Qf8 24.d7 Ne7 25.Ne4 Nd5 26.Bc5 Qg7 27.Bd4 Qf8 28.Be5 f5 1-0 Position after 20...Bh4: [D]1r1r2k1/p2q1p1p/2npp1p1/1p2P3/5P1b/1N5P/PPPQ2P1/3RR1BK w - - 0 21 21.exd6! This move is so natural for the human eye that I haven't even considered anything else. The disappearanece of the black bishop, the weakened black squares and the passed pawn outpost are well worth the rook and secures a superior position - what is equal to an easy win in a correspondence game. (At least in most cases...) At that time I had a very slow computer and very few chess programs. Now I'm glad to see that this human-like move is the first choice of Junior 8. What does your favourite engine say? Thanks Mihaly
