AFAIK a general rule is, if you have only *one* weakness you can defend in most of the cases. Here, White has only *one* strong point (rook on the 7th rank), rest is even symmetrical currently. (Obviously it will be easier for White to activate his King...) Should White "theoretically" be able to win this? I mean, if Black can be considered to be able to defend with/against best play, we cannot really critizise engines which can't win this with White... :-) Regards, Mike Scheidl
