I couldn't find the exact position. Maybe it was deeper, perhaps after an hour or two of Infinite Analysis from this position. I have other things to do, so can't spend more time looking. However I found a prior analysis line from this position which is clearly a goof. Black gives his Queen away with 49...Qh1+? The position is from a game after 42 moves. Analysis is of white's 43rd move: [D]8/q4pp1/P3p2p/3nk3/QpB5/1P4P1/5P1P/6K1 w Analysis by Fritz 7 (the engine with MMX): . . . 43.Bxd5 Kxd5 44.Qb5+ Kd6 45.Qxb4+ Kc6 46.Qc3+ Kb6 47.Qxg7 Qd7 48.Qxh6 Qd1+ 49.Kg2 Qh1+ 50.Kxh1 +- (2.07) Depth: 14/38 00:07:33 113051kN . . .
