I'm >especially curious about Rybka, since it seems to find some interesting moves. My engine wants to play the questioned move after about 5s and keeps this move for half an hour. Ok, that doesn't mean anything as my engine is very weak. But more important is that several other engines think that 36. axb5 is one of the better moves, Hiarcs, Junior, Shredder and Fruit (to name just a few) consider this move to be the 2nd best move in this position. So I don't see a reason why this move couldn't be played by Deep Blue. best regards Roman [SNIP]
