I wonder if any program will find this fine positional move. "DarkThought WCCC'99" never chooses f6 as the best move. Instead, it wavers between Ra1 and a4 (might lead to a transposition) before finally locking onto Ra1 with a positive score of +1.27 in iteration 12 after 1:30 min. Cheers, =Ernst= P.S.
