acious move from the Europa, sometimes I'm really surprised he only has "1700"
ELO. To me he shows flashes of 1900+ in many games before. TheSaitek Turbo is
only holding his position....up till now} Nxe5 {Interesting Idea, he must have
thought ok the Knight on d7 in the previous variation was sitting along... to
why not sacrifice it back ? Very unhuman thnking (except for Human Masters of
course)} (22... axb5 23. Bxb5 Qb6 $1 24. Bxd7 Ba6 $17) 23. Qxe5 (23. Nc7 Nxc4

think now that there are less pieces, the RISC processor of the Saitek is on
the upperhand....} a2 30. Bb5 $15) 29... Rfd8 30. Rc7 Bxd5 $19 31. d7 Kf8 32.

gxf4 {Now this looks really drawish to me ....and my chess engine confirms
this after 30 ply deep ! However there is always the chance that one oldie
blunders when the consequences of its move is out of its own horizon. With
simple 8 to 10 ply calculations you might play an very unfortunate endgame
error.} h5 51. Kg3 Kf6 52. Kh2 Kg7 53. Kg3 Kf7 54. Kh3 Kg6 55. Kh4 Kh6 56. Bf8+
