Also, I think it's a matter of more than just seeing the first move. I say this because in Position 6 HIARCS 7 latches on to Kh2 instantly and doesn't waver, yet after making the move (and finding the right defence, f6, for Black), it doesn't see that 2. Kh1 is the correct move, and prefers to g1, f3 and h3 -- everywhere except h1! That's after about ten minutes' thought on my slow laptop. Kasparov found it blindfold, if you believe Nunn's article. Has anyone done any better with his program? Cheers, Mike.
