Steffen, Peter, hi. An interesting position for a program. I had time only to
try Shredder 2, Zarkov 4.5 and Fritz 6 (I let them ponder for a minute of so
each). Zarkov thinks it's ahead by 3.9, Shredder by 2.5, and Fritz 6 by 1.8...
Appears that Chop and Fritz have both a pretty good evaluation of this position.
Regards,
Djordje
