Qxd5. >Genius 6.0 with 80Mb hash don't look for this move in about 00:15:00. I don't think so.. first of all, not only is it too deep, but Kasparov himself in explaining about this move said: "I was looking for a way to bring my Queen from h6 to b6, and suddenly I came upon this move..". He is not a machine (even though people have this notion about him), and this idea that he has a huge opening specialists team is also a myth (mig interview). It was a brainwave that occurred at the table. As to G6, G% also didn't find it in 10 min, even though I didn't have as big a hash as you did.
