Hello folks,
I had this FEN-Position in one of my games:
r1r3k1/p4ppp/1p2p3/n2p2Pn/3B2q1/8/PP1N3P/4RR1K b - - 2 23
I checked this particular position on my local engine (Stockfish 9) to find the best move for black. I let the computer calculate on this position for exactly 5 minutes to see what it suggests. The suggested move is Qxd4 with an evaluation of roughly -50. As you can see here: image.ibb.co/frkjzn/evaluation.jpg
But actually there is a much stronger move that the engine didn't find even after 5 minutes of pure computer calculation power. Can YOU find it?
SPOILER ALERT:
The stronger move is: Ng3+
Directly after playing this move, the engine doesn't like it at all. (Evaluation says only -23 on depth 21, which is pretty weak compared to the -50 for Qxd4).
But after 60 seconds of calculation on this move the engine goes completely insane, showing an evaluation of -300 and even more.
After only 3 minutes, the engine finally announces forced check mate in 18 moves (if defended perfectly by white):
