The following position is difficult for me to understand. r1b2rk1/1pbpnp1p/2n1p1p1/8/2B1P3/2P5/PP2QPPP/R4RK1 Hiarcs 7.32 gives it +0.88 after several minutes and recommends 16... f5. Kasparov says "With my limited knowledge of the game I would consider 3 minor pieces in such position much better than Queen+pawn and to the best of my understanding after 16...d5 (instead of 16...f5) White would have been reduced to fight for uneasy draw, but I guess Ponomariov used a computer to evaluate this position more precisely." When I play Hiarcs against itself from this position it did much better with white in long time controls but scored equally well with either color using a shorter amount of time. Does anyone have information as to whether other engines evaluate this position as favorable to white?
