This is an interesting trap from a real gm game (Chandler-Z. Polgar, 1987): White K on e6 B on e4 P's on g5 and h2 Black K on g7 N on g8 Black to move In this losing position Black played 1...N-h6; White played 2.gxh6ch?? and was forced to accept the draw after Black played 2...K-h8! My hiarcs 6, playing white after 1...N-h6, ignores 2. gxh6ch and instead immediately selects and stays with 2.h4 which wins. So does CM6000. Genius 5 initially falls into the trap but after about 2 minutes on my celeron 333 sees a problem with that move and at 3:36 selects 2.h4. Fritz 5.32 doesn't have a clue and plays 2. gxh6 and even several moves later thinks he's 9plus points ahead in his evaluation. eric
