Yes, that is what I posted to Michael Fitch, that you were using my epd position. >I didn't say the >knight COULDN't get to f6 but I said it would take some work.. That's correct, sorry I used the word "couldn't". Your quote is below ... "By the way .. in this position it isn't so easy to get the knight to f6 ..

That is what I was hoping for in giving this position. That without deep calculating, would some programs give themselves a head start on this position by implementing knowledge of the strong knight vs weak bishop. Looks like the author of Phallanx implementing such knowledge. Humans would glance at this position and I think immediately assess that white has a comfortable edge.
