Insomniac 0.63 played this game against Comet B.15 last night. I asked Insomniac
to analyze it last night, and it found it had made quite a few inferior moves.
Here are the most important positions.

Here it played 13. It selects O-O-O after 24 seconds, and by ply 13 is showing a
positive score.

[D]rn1qk2r/p1pp4/1p3p1p/3bB1p1/1b2n3/2N2N2/PPQ1PPPP/R3KB1R w KQkq -

Here it blundered with Qxd5? 12 ply and 127 seconds are necessary to see that h4
is better (although maybe not the best move).

[D]rn1q1r1k/p2p4/1p3p1p/3p2p1/4n3/P1BQ1N2/1P2PPPP/4KB1R w K -


Finally, it missed a win! Insomniac locks onto Qxg7 after 134 seconds with a
draw score, but doesn't realize the brilliance of this move until ply 12 where
the score jumps to +0.01 (hey, it's a lot better than the -2 it was showing
earlier). It the game it played Qe4+ and forced a draw by repetition.
