Hi Odell cm6000 on my Pent. mmx166 plays Bxd6 immediately.It finds Qh6 in
5sec in th position posted below.Rebel9 hadn't found it after 10 min.on the
same machine.Even when set on mate in 6 it doesn't find it.I find that
amazing!Is White's second move Bg4 that subtle?I hardly think so.Anyway
here is the position
White Black
K h1 K h8
Q h4 Q b8
Rs c3,d1 R e8
B f3 B b7
Ps a2,b2,d5,e4,f6,g5,h2 Kn a4
Ps a6,b5,d6,e5,f7,g6,h7
