| DeepThought: Rybka 2.3.1 can't see a white advantage after
12. b4 Qxb4
13. a5 e5
Score: -.40
So what's the intended solution? |

| |
| DeepThought: Didn't find it myself, but Shredder and Rybka say 80..Qd3 is M6 (followed by 81..e1S), while Qf4 is only M7. The immediate 80..e1S is refuted by 81.g4, although it's still easily winning, no direct mate. |

| DeepThought: There is absolutely no need to play b4 in the whole endgame, and there is no gain in playing it this early, if at all. This puzzle is not solved by playing b4, the game can be won without it. E.g., just push the king side pawns and keep the bishop on the a1-h8 diagonal ... |

| DeepThought: Is this puzzle to difficult for computers to understand? Rybka sees nothing for White after 17 01:41 15.940.528 166.800 0.00 23. ... Qd7xc6 24.Qf6g6+ Kg8h8 25.Qg6xh6+ Kh8g8 26.Qh6g6+ Kg8h8 27.Qg6f6+ Kh8g8 28.Qf6g6+ Kg8h8 29.Qg6f6+ Kh8g8 30.Qf6g6+ |

| DeepThought: Hi RandomVisitor,
thanks for the ideas about move maps. I'm using something similar in my own (patzer) games. I especially like to find a move which minimizes mobility of enemy pieces. E.g. put a pawn (best: a bishop) three squares in front of an enemy knight. In the knight 2 ... |
