That's what Tiger thinks, indeed. But I still believe that Tiger should not take
the pawn in a2. It is probably losing in the long term (but giving white a hard
time and many ways to lose).
Playing b3 quickly does not work. After a 20 plies search the bishop was still
there and black's position was not so bad. Actually it's white that has to play
very carefully in order to hold the position.
