OK, I will play an overnight game from that position after 16.bxc5. I'll take
WChess2000 as black. Which white player do you think is best to defend the white
position? I'd guess Genius, do you have another suggestion? Hiarcs?

Let me say: I'd prefer playing black. :-)

1) I don't mind what Junior >5.0 says because right now it is obviously a beta
and may contain some bugs
2) even this small advantage confesses compensation for white is a piece up and
should, if sound, have an eval of clearly over +1.50

Read above.

Even if it was deep thought, it was 11 (!!) years ago.
