Hi,

Ikarus is of course far from being a top engine, but it switches to 1. ... Qd8
after about 44 minutes (Centrino 2.0), which seems to give the best drawing
chances.
The main line is  1. ... Qd8 2. Qxc5 Qd2 3. Qxc8 Qe1+ 4. Kg2 Qf2+ 5. Kh3 Qxb6 6.
Kxh4 fxg4 7. Nxe4 Qg1 8. Nf6+ Rxf6 9. Bd3+ Kg7, score goes from +0.8 to +0.6
after two hours (other moves are > +1).

I suppose that top engines will find this faster, but it is by no means an easy
position - thanks for posting it!

Best regards - Munjong.
