Jun-04-25  mel gibson: I wasn't sure but considered the text ply.

Stockfish 17 doesn't take the Rook with the Bishop but instead takes the White Queen:

33. Rxd6

(33. Rxd6 (1.Rxd6 Qxe6 2.Rxe6 Bxc5 3.Rexf6 Rd2 4.Rxc6 Bf2 5.Re6 Re2 6.g3 Kh6 7.Rxe5 Rxe5 8.Rxf2 Re3 9.Kg2 h4 10.gxh4 a5 11.a4 Kg7 12.Kf1 Re4 13.Rf3 Rxh4 14.h3 Re4 ) +4.31/42 396)

score for White +4.31 depth 42.

If I force SF to take with the Bishop:

33. Rxd6 Bxd6

34. Qxf6+ (34. Qxf6+ (1.Qxf6+ Kh6 2.Rd1 Bxc5 3.Qxd8 Qxd8 4.Rxd8 Bxa3 5.Re8 Kg7 6.Rxe5 c5 7.Re6 h4 8.Kg1 c4 9.bxc4 Kf7 10.Rc6 Ke7 11.Kf1 Kd7 12.Rxg6 Kc7 13.Ra6 Bc5 14.Ke2 Bb6 )
+5.52/42 491)

score for White +5.52 depth 42.
