1) e4 d5, 2)exd5, qxd5 3) nc3 qa5; 4) d4, c6; 5) nf3, nf6 6) bd2, qb2 Oh, and one final, interesting note about the position. Although the b pawn is hanging, the modern engines tend to ignore this and develop for white and the black side never takes the pawn. Yet, their is no clear refutation of the pawn capture. Black can capture it and there is no line where white gets it back. Indeed, Im martin considers the capture to by playable. Wow, computers are passing up an immediate material advantage. This shows how far engines will come. But i think the ultimate advance will come when a computer can defeat these weaker, anti-computer players (e.g., an engine should almost never lose or draw to a 2000 player). When will an engine learn to play against a stonewall/lock up the pawn structure type player? best joseph
