Jorge, interesting position. It's actually not about "horizon effect" or "superiority in long term calculation", this is a zugzwang problem which may cause a problem to engines because of null moves.

Code: Select all

This is where top GMs are superior to top engines in long term calculation and able to detect a position that will lead the human to win at the end by forcing Black into a Horizon effect in which Black will not be able to get out off.
