Hello Uri,
I'm a very bad chess player so I don't understand what is happening in this
position.  I see that white is up a pawn which is about a point.  So where is
the advantage for black?  I suspect white will lose the b pawn but I don't see
any big advantage for either side after that.  Maybe both e pawns will fall next
so what do you see that the computers don't?
