Anthony, thanks for your nice report. Thanks of course also to the other reports

What does TMB mean?

I looked a bit a the position. I have not got the log from that game yet, but
here Yace switches between Nxd5 and Bxd5 almost every iteration. Nevertheless, I
cannot see the "clearly winning" (I am a weak player ...). After Bxd5, Yace does
(with 5 minute searches) suggest the line 24. Bxd5 Bxd5 25. Nxd5 Qc6 26. Nxf6
Qxf6 27. Qxc4 Rxb2.

Again white up one pawn, but wouldn't this position tend to draw as well?

Here is the pos:

[d] 4r1k1/p1q2p2/2b2b1p/3p2p1/2p5/PrN3P1/1PQ1PPBP/3R1RK1 w - -

Regards,
Dieter
