Junior 5 finds Qxe7 in 30 seconds on my AMD 64 Athlon...

See if your engine can find this move ....once played bythe famous Botvinnik in 1931...

It looks a bit too easy.

Both Hamsters and Kiwi prefer Bxd5.

Well maybe it isn't too easy

Qxe7 or Bxd5 ?
Both seem easily winning :

OK..thanks....!

Yes, I see that Bxd5 is also a winning move.......but I think
the one that the chess master played (Qxe7) is the most spectacular....

And I was just wondering how many engines find it...etc.

Why ? because you give the queen to get it back 2 moves later

Well, maybe it is a better test move for dedicated machines; my old
TurboStar432 plays Qxe7 right away...even without thinking about it..
