So there is a big need for one small change in the code to test whether it then sees it. That material stealing is ok. Let it steal at least a pawn. If you get opposite bishops against kasparov with material up it gotta be draw anyway. He'll figure something out that is a draw then. >> >>I assume if so that it plays 37.Be4? too (Qb6 wins forced there). >> >>[Event "ICC u 120 0 05/04/97"] >>[Site "Internet Chess Club"] >>[Date "1997.05.04"] >>[Round "-"] >>[White "Deep-Blue"] >>[Black "Kasparov"] >>[Result "1-0"] >>[WhiteElo "0"] >>[BlackElo "2795"] >>[GameID "862766392"] >>[ECO "C93"] >>[NIC "RL.22"] >>[LongECO "Ruy Lopez: closed, Smyslov defense"] >> >> 1. e4 e5 2.
