The evaluations I posted are from the point of view of white, so the -0.04 of Tiger means that black is better by 4/100 of a pawn. Other programs may or may not play 21... e5, but if they don't is for the wrong reasons. What makes e5 a blunder is that it blocks the bishop on g6, and the evals I posted show that none of these programs realize what this means. >It wouldn't be -300 as >the bishop can still be activated by losing a pawn- P-f5!-the only way. Right. But no program would give up a pawn without seeing a reason, and they don't. Besides, it might mean losing the bishop pair... :( >But in one of these follow ups, even tiger is not too clever-taking longest >to find K-g3.
