Engines good at tactics.. Really?
an example from one of my correspondence games:

Houdini (1.5) evaluates this as completely equal giving 1.Ndf3 at depth 23
yet, black is totally lost after 1.Bxh7+! Kxh7 2.Qh5+ Kg8 3.Qxh4 Nxe5 4.fxe5 Be7 5.Rf6!! (what a wonderful move)
Very Nice Position!!. I couldnot produce everytime though as smp analysis are not always reproducible.
But New Stockfish Dev versions are good.

Note none is running on default parameters and only on a laptop consisting slow intel 3 cores. May be on Big hardwares it will be faster.
