I came to the conclusion, that Yace has no chance, to really see it in reasonable time - I mean order of magnitude of a day here. However, as you mention, the move could be found by luck. With some backwards analysis, I got a significant advantage for black (> 2 pawns, IIRC). It does not mean, that an engine could not be smarter. I believe, it will be very difficult, to find significant scores here; and if, the engine might have too risky eval. But an engine might find a consistently better score for Kd3 compared to other moves, even if it is only 0.2 pawns or so. Regards, Dieter
