[d]2r1r2k/1p1q1ppp/pn1p1b2/nNp2b2/2PP4/PP2BN2/Q3BPPP/2R1R1K1 w - - Nd6 found this is ccc search: Ferret played the crushing Nxd6 which works because white has not one but two pawn forks coming up. The main line being: Nxd6 Qxd6 dxc5 Rxc5 Bxc5 Qxc5 b4, a 7ply line. But of course, the normal horizon effect kicks in so LambChop will then think Rxe2 Qxe2 helps before 'realising' the pawn fork is still there. So Lambchop needs 9ply, and around 2min and 1.2M nodes on my P133 to see this little combination. A bit slow for my liking! How does your favourite program do??
