Thank you. Very interesting that chessprograms have so different opinions about this sacrifice. My feeling is that those who don't make this position sacrfice, never make a position sacrfice, but I can be wrong. In older days chesscomputers never made a position sacrifice. The first that made it was Super Constellation, although that machine often was too fast to make them. But it is more fun with chessporgrams that makes position sacrifices in my opinion. Rebel10 makes the sacrifice in a few seconds with antiGM on, but not with antiGM off.
