Tiger's evals of >1+ were drunk, I think that after Junior's f7-f6 there is not enough compensation. Tiger should have prevented the f5-f4 plan. +1 is too much, but Tiger evaluates differently. I guess -0,50 is a bit too optimistic, especially after f7-f6. Still, Junior created good counterplay and Tiger didn't counter this on time. So IMO the draw is a fair result. >and I don't care if Shredder agrees with him. Programs make the >worst mistakes when they are most happy. It was just below zero before Bd3, so >it went for Rc8 (which it thought leads to a draw by repetition, but Tiger >refused to repeat, again a misjudgement IMO). It is amazing how many programs evaluate white clearly better after ... Rc8 Qxc8+. I think that Junior saw deeper and found some tactics connected with the move e6-e5! This was very strong indeed and it takes some depth to see this. >>But all things considered I would rather start a game with even material. Nice >job. Thanks. Better luck next time! Jeroen
