Are these bugs? I think they are. Bugs??? Why do you think this is caused by a bug? Just because an engine (or, in the case of this position, MOST engines) does not find the best move instantly doesn't mean there's a BUG. All it means is that the position is difficult for engines to evaluate because of the depth necessary to calculate to see the answer. Your quick cry of "BUG!" in this thread and another one is a bit odd. Expecting that every chess engine will find the best move in every position at blitz time controls is just not realistic. jm
