I use computers to analyse but usually just input moves I think will work
then let the computer do its calculating. In this case however Rebel Century
immediately played b5+ with a plus 3.00 eval.

However, even with a Knight up computers may still fall into a drawing
trap as I mentioned above. It's an excellent position with some "study-like"
qualities.
