Last night I played a game against my own brainchild, I sometimes still do that. The game got interesting when I played a wild sacrifice which I couldn't oversee till the end but as it seems is correct after all. It's my bet (in case the sacrifice is correct) no engine will find this move. I want to find out if the sac is correct so I can label this game as my own personal immortal game. Here is the game and the critical positions, please start your engines... [Event "Play for fun"] [Site "Deventer"] [Date "06.11.2004"] [Round "?"] [White "Ed"] [Black "Rebel 12"] [Result "1-0"] [WhiteElo "?"] [BlackElo "?"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. f3 d5 3.

Qxf8 * [d]rnbq1rk1/pp1n1p1p/4p1p1/3pP1N1/1b1p1P1P/2NB4/PPP3P1/R1BQK2R w KQ - bm h5; Position after 10..cxd4, move to find 11.h5!! [d]rnbq1rk1/pp1n1p1p/4p1p1/3pP1NP/1b3P2/1PpB4/P1P3P1/R1BQK2R b KQ - bm Qc7; 12..Qc7 looks like a smart defence (see the game) but is it really the best move? Else I think the rest is forced. I think this is the critical position. [d]rnb2r1k/pp3pqB/4p3/3p4/1b6/1Pp5/P1P3P1/R1BQK2R w - - bm Qh5; Position after 19..Kh8, move to find 20.Qh5! This (I guess) will be already hard enough to find for many engines. Ed
