I don't have them here at work (it wouldn't help, CM doesn't run in NT) but I guess the only programs "smelling" the danger can be Chessmaster and CStal. All others certainly have no evaluation functions for this longtime danger. (I tried Phalanx and WChess) This is an excellent example for the importance of king safety. The black loss is too far because black can't resist the temptation to give some checks which push the loss beyond the horizon. Any programmer confirming this? >The game 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3 Ne7 7.Qg4 0-0 8.Bg5 >Qa5 9.Ne2 Nbc6 10.h4 Nxd4 11.Bxe7 Nxc2+ 12.Kd2 Nxa1 13.Bf6 g6 14.Qf4 Nb3+ 15.Ke3 >Nd4 16.g4 Nc2+ 17.Kf3 Qa6 18.Nd4 Nxd4+ 19.cxd4 Qxa3+ 20.Kg2 h5 21.Qh6 Qf3+ >22.Kxf3 hxg4+ 23.Kxg4 cxd4 24.Qg7# >Uri
