That is neither the problem nor the exercise. The problem is that after 1.Nxe6 black=Hiarcs7.32 would play 1...Rxc4?? for some seconds and doesn't find 1...f6. Just jumping from Nb6 to h5 and some other strange moves. Regarding to my last posting I can't reproduce 1...f6 any more!?! What is that? Even disabling learning and deleting the learn file doesn't help. Hiarcs now starts with 1...Rxc4. Strange, very strange. >CT-ART 3.0 does the continuation for 1.Nxe6 ? >Paulo Soares, from Brazil
