I DO know that many good engines see some good things. But I never found one
which sees anywhere near enough to have played it itself. AND, interestingly, in
all ways I was able do computer assisted analysis, it has seemed that Spaasky's
moves were fantastic, sound and best. SO, it is therefore my favourite position
to test computers with.
AND, I'm really hoping to see results from Rybka (which I have not yet managed
to access yet). It doesn't matter if it takes time to find h5 or ng4, if  it
finds them at all, it's great news. Of course, it should be for te right
reasons, and not want to change it's mind to something weaker. AND, it must be
without book!!!!!!!
And thanks alot, manfred, for doing all this work of putting up position. I
didn't find it amongst my chess books, because everything is in a mess, but I
have been testing this position for several years, and am familiar with it, and
that it is a great position for testing.
