By the way, this was an extremely valuable game for me, because it helped me find a rather huge bug in Grok's king safety that caused it to play 13...g5 and some of the ridiculous king moves that followed. Grok likes Nxg5 after 8 seconds (ply 8) with an equal score. After 2 minutes the score jumps to +0.5. Phalanx (always brilliant in these types of positions) finds it in under 4 seconds with a score of +2. Fritz6a finds it in 30 seconds, at +0.6. After 100 seconds it's at +1.34 Chess System Tal 2 finds it in 4 seconds with a +2.2 score. Very similar to Phalanx! Crafty sticks with Bg3. I gave up after 3 minutes. Conclusion: Nxg5 looks very strong to me! --Peter
