Subject: Final word: ALL programs find the winning move

Go up one level in this thread


While this is an interesting position, the original title is misleading.  Crafty
finds this move, as do all other programs.  Of course it doesn't immediately
eval +2, I don't think any program does, but they can smell enough of a win that
realistically any program faced with this position will win as white.  So in the
original game, the move before Bg5 should be absolutely marked as bad. :)
However it does bring up a question that I'll ask separately regarding the issue
of how a correspondence-mode search seems to begin to payoff more as you get to
deep search depths.
