Hi,

I thought I'd submit the following combination from Marcio Miranda-GM Felix
Izeta, Vince Toth Memorial, 6th round.

6rk/3b1p2/1p1p3p/1Nb1p1r1/2P1Pp2/P2B2P1/1P3PKP/R4R2 b - - 0 26

The winning move is 26...Bh3+!! How long does it take for your computer to play
this and how long before it gives Black the advantage with this move.

Just for your info: Black has two mating patterns here: 26...Bh3+ 27.Kxh3 f3
28.Kh4? d5!! with Be7 and mate to follow, or the main line I have goes 26...Bh3+
27.Kxh3 f3 28.g4! Rxg4 29.Nc3!! (best defense I've seen so far as Black is
threatening a second mating pattern with R8g5, Rf4, and Rh5 mate) R8g5 30.Ne2
fxe2 31.Bxe2 Rxe4 and Black is winning.
