I always check the "hint move" first before it does any calculations.. just to see what it is...and sometimes, as in this case, it is correct..! By the way, I checked the Novag Constellation Forte, and it plays Bxh6 at only 1 ply.., however, it does not show the correct hint move like the Novag Sapphire2.....:-) regards, Rob PS...I predict that most dedicated units have trouble with this one....etc.
