Amazing! -- and after my extolllings of LGG2, who's going to believe I never
consulted it?!

In fact, I was doing my *usual* multi-line analysis in CBase (ie Fritz 5.32
engine), and, having
failed to assure myself that Qd3+ (still better than Qg4) was a 'sure win', I
hit on h4 with all the desperation of a gambler playing his last trump! SO to
find that LGG2 agrees, only endears it to me the more! I'd like to get a 'final
word' on this -- I'll see if I can get the question to John Nunn via 'GM
channels'...

All the best
Francis
