Subject: What is the correct evaluation of this position?

Leko (2670) - Beliavsky (2690), Madrid 1998

[D]3q1kr1/3n1p2/2p3p1/p2pPB2/3P4/2P1K1Q1/Pr3P2/6RR b - -

Leko:  "Thanks to my good structure and the light-squared bishop my king is safe
in the centre, whereas the black king has nowhere to go."  Beliavsky played
29...Nb6, after which Leko says White has "the upper hand".  However, after 5
minutes of analysis each, before and after 29...Nb6, the position is evaluated
as equal by my aging programs, Fritz 5.32, Comet B02, Doctor 3.0, and Crafty
16.6 (I really should upgrade these old war horses); Hiarcs 7.32 gives White a
slight advantage.  [Leko won the game six moves later.]
Cheers,
Mark
