SMIRF Engine: That's all right Reinhard. I sometimes am on the winning side. :)
I played through those moves and it looks like Black would get a Rook and I'dve taken a Pawn and a Bishop. All those pieces would be lined up on C7 too.I didn't think of this line that your program did, but when I finally gave up trying to find a move I rationalised going for it as I'd at the least just be down the exchange of a Rook for a Bishop and I have his King exposed with me also having a passed Pawn. With SMIRF's moves I'd have the Knight on G6 too and he wouldn't be easily dislodged.

All these pieces can get quite overwhelming looking for moves. I imagine with a clock running it'd sort out the masters in a hurry.

SMIRF Engine: I hadn't thought of using a program to check the moves. Thanks for entering it in. After the 29... P-J6, how does SMIRF have it scored?
Is this the evaluation? 08:28.4 (13.01=) +2.496
Is this before move 24, or after move 29?
