I disagree, and LGG's analysis line bears me out. I quite agree that LGG appears to get unreasonably optimistic about its chances without due cause, but this is a clear case of its finding what *I believe* to be the winning line (and not, I assure you Bob, played 'randomly'), for reasons far from 'unrelated' to that line, (and for that reason, its actual assessment at such an early stage of the search is far less important than that it finds the move). I assure you, I have no wish to waste anyone's time, or to put up material that 'just happened to work' -- in fact I'm putting these up to be 'knocked down', if that turns out to be possible. I'll post the GMs' verdict(s) as soon as I get them. All best Francis
