Today in several quick games, my program reached these positions. My computer isn't too fast, so I was hoping somebody with a fast computer and tablebases could look at them. r1b1kb1r/pp4pp/1q3p2/3ppn2/1P3B2/2PQPN2/P2N1PPP/R4RK1 w kq - Here my program played Bxe5 with a large plus score, and went on to win by direct attack on black's king. Both Crafty 16.18 and the Fritz that comes with CBL much prefer e4, giving Bxe5 as almost half a pawn for black. Was my program right to play Bxe5, or was it overly optimistic? 6k1/5p2/4n3/6P1/4qp2/2Q2N2/8/6K1 b - - In this position my program played Qe3+ and after the exchange of a few pieces, a drawn KNPKN position was reached. Is there any way for black to win this? 1r2r1k1/2pqnppp/p1bpn2P/6P1/2N1PN2/5P2/PP1QB3/K1R4R b - - My program played g6? which I think loses by force. I don't know if there is anything better (Nxf4 maybe?). Can this game be saved? Thanks, James
