Chess Tiger followed that line, and later switched to: 1r1q1r1k/6pp/2npQ1b1/p2Np1b1/R1B5/1PP1NP2/6PP/R6K b - - ce 40; acd 16; acs 600; pv e4 f4 Bxf4 Nxf4 Rxf4 Qd5 Bf7 Qd1 Bxc4 Nxc4 Qf6 Nxa5 Nxa5 Rxa5 Qxc3 Qxd6 Rbf8 Qe5;|e4 I wonder if f4 isn't a better response to e4 than fxe4 is. The score is lower than those programs that assume we must recapture the lost pawn. I would also like to see a deep analysis for the two suggested bishop moves, to see if they have any merit upon deeper examiniation.
