Rybka 232a requires depth 13 to abstain from 5.Nxe5:

2.Nf3 seemd very unsolid already (not expecting the natural d5-d4). I restarted Fritz to see if I can reproduce it. I let Rybka play 1.Nc3 at depth 13 and replied d5 immediatly:

Analysis by Rybka 2.3.2a 32-bit :

2.Nf3 Nf6 3.d4 Nc6 4.g3 g6 5.Bg2 Bg7 6.0-0 0-0 7.Ne5 Ng4 8.Nxc6 bxc6
= (0.13) Depth: 9 00:00:00 0kN
= (0.04) Depth: 18 00:03:36 11988kN

Doesn't expect 2...d4.
