Please post how long it takes your engine to find a clear win for white here. (say eval > +10)

it is white or black to move.

On my laptop, it took Stockfish 50 seconds to get to +89

White to move

Avatar of Crazychessplaya

After 50 seconds, mate in 16 for Houdini. After one second was already +11.

Mate in 15 moves at 1minute 26seconds.

LOL now mate in 14 moves after over 4 minutes.

My stockfish starts at 2.5, and stays around there till it figures out 2 Qf2

Avatar of Crazychessplaya

The gadget says 2...Ng4 is better than 2...Nxf2.

Avatar of rooperi

Threebeast, 2 Qxd3 is not the best move, although probabl also winning. 2 Qf2 is the killer

Avatar of Twinchicky

Deep HIARCS on my ridiculous computer with two quad-core processors took 3 seconds to get a +11.77 eval for white when it found the 2. Qf2 move. It also said there was a mate in 18 after 38 seconds...
