Later at move 50-something something blew loudly and blacked out the overhead board projection. I felt really sorry for the spectators in the hall who stayed for 5 hours and had to sit there watching nothing. Many of them left. The Primergy server was on UPS, but my screen wasn't so I could not play until power was restored. This game was something. Khalifman clearly invited c4 or f4 in the opening for a King Indian setup but didn't get it, and ended up with an opening line he didn't want. He then mishandled it badly and was lost in a few moves. In sarcastic self-humour he told me he thought of resigning at move 20 but didn't because after Huebner it's not even original. In retrospect Junior's Bxe7 is an error and after the game Anand suggested Be3 instead as a clear win. IMO the game against Adams is Junior's best ever, and one of the best computer games ever. Adams tried very hard and was disappointed by the result. Junior made all the right positional choices in a dangerous game that computers typcially misunderstand. The move Bg7 is fantastic, especially since the alternative Rg8 doesn't look like it will hold. Amir
