Probably not the result Arpad expected...
Yes, that's a surprise to me! :lol:
Ooops!

Maybe we should trust in engines' evals sometimes yet!
:oops:
But then again, at corrected position or at the one with the hole in 2, after
1. e4 Kc2 2. e5 Kxb3?? which most engines want to play for quite a time,
after having taken black pawn b3 too early with white king, engines' eval still is clueless anyhow, so how to trust them sometimes, if you cannot trust them always?
