Subject: Another "avoid move" test position

Hi all,

here is another "avoid move" test position: which program is the best in
avoiding the trap Nxd4?
The main variation is ... Nxd4? Nxd4 Bxd4 Rxd4 Qxd4 Nxd5 Qd2 Nxb4.
Many captures, many forced moves in this varaition, however, may program Bringer
has no chance to avoid Nxd4? in reasonable time.

[D]1kr2n2/q4p1r/bbn1p2p/p2pPP1P/Pp1P4/1Pp1NN1Q/2P2BB1/3RR1K1 b - - 0 1

(this is a from one of my human-human games, it seems to be relatively easy for
humans to avoid Nxd4, because they get suspicious...)

I tried several engines, best so far is Hiarcs 6, it avoids the trap in about 1
min @ PII-300

Greetings,
Gerrit
