8/8/4kpp1/3p1b2/p6P/2B5/6P1/6K1 b - - bm Bh3; id "Topalov-Shirov Linares 98"; Does everybody remember this game? It's from last year's Linares tournament, where Shirov played a shocking bishop sacrifice in the endgame and won brilliantly. I believe that post-mortem analysis proved it was the only way to win. (Please correct me if this is wrong) I watched this game live on ICC with dozens of others, and we were all quite impressed with Shirov's powers of calculation. This *should* be an extremely difficult problem for computers - but I'm sure somebody will tell me that Hiarcs or some other commercial program can solve it in 10 seconds. Just curious... --Peter
