I have recently come across the following position, /r5k/pp2qppp/2b/n/2pPr/P1P1PQ1P/1B4P/1B2RRK/ with white to move. It will be white's 21st move. I have let crafty run and analyze this position for over 2 hours, and it returns a value of over +2 for white. However, I don't think that crafty understands the position, because I've had it sort of play against itself (I was using SCID for analysis, and pulled up the engine analysis with crafty) by making it's best move for each side after about a min or so each time, and it routinely wins with black. I would be interested to see a Deep Position evaluation of hte position from Shredder or Junior or something Stronger than Crafty, but also I would be interested in seeing games from a short engine match with this start position, just to see if the evaluations can be trusted. I don't really have the software to pull this off on my own, but if it piques anyone's interest and they'd like to post a follow-up, please do!
