Subject: fairly tough position

Author: Jon Dart

From a test game between two Arasan versions:

[D] 2R2b1r/3nkp2/B2pp1p1/1N4Pn/P3P3/4BP2/1r5q/3QK1R1 w - -

In the actual game, White played Qd3 and lost.

White must play Nd4 or Na7 here, after which Crafty expects a
draw by repetition. Crafty analysis (not the latest version):
