Hello, I am in the process of running wac at 5 minutes to make sure everything is going well. [D]1k5r/pppbn1pp/4q1r1/1P3p2/2NPp3/1QP5/P4PPP/R1B1R1K1 w - - 0 1 1 -388 0 3 1. Rxe4 fxe4 1 -278 0 6 1.

Bf4 move b6 I do not understand why it switched to this b6 line. Here is the position after the PV completed: [D]2k4r/1pp1n1p1/1p2b1p1/5p2/3PpB2/2P5/P4PPP/R3R1K1 b - - 0 5 Now, I do have code the gives a pretty big bonus for open (and half open) files around the king, but this line opens them up on both sides, thereby negating that effect. Is there some "deeper" chess meaning to this line? Or more likely, is my engine wacked? i.e., why did it take almost 16,000,000 nodes on ply 9?? My move ordering surely can't be that bad! This is giving me a headache.
