I want to see cases when programs can see the right move after a long search.
If they cannot see even after many hours then I suspect that it is not the right
move.

I remember it and
I remember that Amir ban posted analysis of Junior6
and it could find the right rook move in a few miinutes.

Dark thought had probably worse evaluation so it needed some hours to find the
same move.

At the time of the match programs could not find the right move but
I suspect that they got better.

I also do not know the search depth of deep blue in the first match so I prefer
positions from the second match.
