We learn early on that if we have a winning advantage, we want to eliminate any chance of counterplay by our openent. We usually would like to simplify the position. I've noticed that rybka and other engines often won't simplify the position , if there is the slightest loss of points (say -.1). So lets say black and white still have q's on the board, but black has a clearly winning advantage (+6). if black gets the chance, it should trade those queens (assume this really is a good idea). Are there any engines that will do this?, i.e., take a slight decrease in advantage to simplify the position and garuntee the win?
