I cannot post the full game now but I think that I can safely post position
from move 15 of the game(we are at move 34) when I decided not to sacrifice a
piece inspite of the fact that Deep fritz asked me to sacrifice the piece

I chose the quiet move 15.Bf1 that was suggested by the tigers(I did not have
Deep Fritz interface for the tigers at that time but I copied the line of tiger
and saved them)
