Does your engine find Nxg2 first, then show Kxg2, d4! in analysis line?

Yes...

TRACE 2 needs about 35 seconds on a Q6600 (single threaded)

It seems that you have big eyes Tony and they function well

I wish, I wish...

She usually solves faster than 1.37a but she doesn't play well.
And the search has some 'sticking' points which I haven't solved yet.

Time is very limited here... doing some studies as well as full-time work.... so don't get excited... just yet...

sorry
