Subject: Trapper Ant

In round 1 Ant had tried an interesting trap against theKing:
Ant had played Nc4 !? and the position was

[D]r4rk1/p4p1p/2p2npQ/q7/1pnPPN2/1P3P1B/PK5P/3R2R1 w - - 0 21

TheKing refused to accept the sac, played 21. Ka1 and could easily win.
It seems that accepting the sac will in fact loose, for instance

21. bxc4 Qa3+ 22. Ka1 Qc3+ 23. Kb1 b3

At least on slow hardware (K6-433), my engine needs quite a while to realize
that accepting the sac is not good. During the 1st minutes it sticks to bxc4
even though the scores starts sinking.

How about other engines ?
