I then set it on to autoplay.Yes CM6000 did find Qe6 and it recorded a positive value of 2.14.It continued with the positive value for the next 14 moves.The maximum it reached for white was 2.93.Eventually though the game score finished at 0.00.White deemed the position as equal by move 44.At this point I stopped the game Some may argue prematurely because there was still a possibility for either side to win.That is true, however,the point of the execise for me was that move 27Qe6 was perhaps not the devasting move you suggested. It could be that on my PC CM6000 did not find all the best moves (it found Qe6 in 2.47min). It does suggests also that Hiarcs did not play the position as well as CM6000.I'm not convinced though that CM 6000 is a stronger programme than Hiarcs7.So what do other people think?. Here are the moves played by CM6000 from move 27.The time setting was 200sec per move. 27Qd6 Qc1+ 28Kh2 Qh6 29Qe6 Kg7 30Rxf8 Rxf8 31Bxf8 Kxf8 32Qc8+ Ke7 33Qxb7 Kd6 34Qb8+ Kd7 35bxa5 Qxh4+ 36Kg1 Qa4 37Qa7+ Kc8 38Qa6+ Kb8 39Qb6+ Kc8 40f4 g5 41fxg5 Qd1+ 42Kh2 Qh5+ 43Kg3 Qg5+ 44Kf3 0.00 Regards Allan
