[D]r1b2rk1/1pq2pp1/p2bpn1p/8/3N4/1BP2Q1P/PP3PP1/R1B1R1K1 b - - 0 15 Here Zappa played b6, expecting to get the Q versus two rooks after Qxa8 Bb7 Qxf8. [D]Q4rk1/1bq2pp1/pp1bpn1p/8/3N4/1BP4P/PP3PP1/R1B1R1K1 w - - 0 17 But CSMath now suprised Zappa (as much as a computer can be surprised) with Nxe6, getting RBPP for the queen. Which does your engine prefer? [D]r1b2rk1/1pq2pp1/p2b1n1p/4p3/3N4/1BP2Q1P/PP3PP1/R1B1R1K1 w - - 0 16 Instead of b6, Zappa was considering e5, but discarded it at the last minute. What does your engine play after e5, and does it favor Black or White? Bonus question: What engine was CSMath using? It isn't in the finger notes. My suspicion is Hiarcs because Enrico (Hiarcs8x) was watching, but its an open ended question :) In the end Zappa had enough to draw, after a long defence. The full game: [White "CSMath"] [Black "Zappa"] [Result "1/2"] [WhiteElo "2812"] [BlackElo "2640"] [TimeControl "1200+30"] 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 c5 4. exd5 Qxd5 5. Ngf3 cxd4 6. Bc4 Qd6 7.
