Not really, at least not Fritz. Fritz 5.32 "finds" Bg5 immediately, but then discards it until reaching depth 12/37 where it switches back to it. At 14 ply it is still on Bg5, but only gives it 0.38 eval. In other words it is decidedly unimpressed. IMO these sorts of posts should ALWAYS be accompanied with the winning line. This avoids having to ask things like "What is the winning line here after 1. Bg5 Nec5?". Hiarcs 7.32 is similarly unimpressed, so let's not bash Crafty just yet. For laughs I will run Fritz 5.32 and Crafty 17.7 overnight on this position on identical hardware (PII 400 128MB) and see what they say in the morning. My bet right now is that Bg5 does not merit even a single !. :)
