Hi George,

I am looking over these games to see if I can reproduce the same behavior in Vortex. I can say this: it looks like the "Trojan Horse" sacrifice code needs some work. When a piece is situated so that a pawn capture would open up the j-file, it triggers search extending that occasionally finds "impossibly deep" mates, like mate in 20 or mate in 30, and most times a human can't see it.

I will examine that code.

Also, in Game 1, what do you think of 9...Nxg3+ instead of castling? Example:

9...Nxg3+ 10. Axg3 Bh4 11. Nh7+ Kg8 12. Nxj8 Bxg3 13. Nxi6 Bxe1 14. Qxe1 jxi6

Very heavy trading! Maybe 15. Qi5 Kh7 with an unclear position.
