			[d]rn1qr1k1/pbp2pb1/1p4p1/3p4/3P4/2NBPN2/PPQ2PP1/R3K2R w KQ - 0 1
Hi ther Steve...hope all is going well...
Both my old WChess PC program and the Novag Sapphire2 portable unit find the move
Bxg6 at only 3 ply...!
I was just wondering  if these two chess programs were written by the same person...or is this just a coincidense.... 
 
 
regards
have a good day..

No, Steve is the expert in this field, I'm barely rank & file 
 
 
I just happened to know both were Dave Kittenger's programs

Hi Steve,
I think the first Mk 1, Mk II and Super System III was programmed by David Levy.
Have a nice Weekend Regards
