Nice game.  The Sicilian Paulsen, a rare continuation with 13...Bg5, evidently
well researched by Sandro Necchi, the Italian master responsible for the Mchess
opening book.  I can't see any "anti-computer strategy" in MChess's play.  I
think that Black was doomed after playing the bad 16...Nf5 instead of simply
capturing Bxd5...  This kind of thing often happens when programs sac pawns
while in book and cannot make up for it later, which is what happened here.  For
example, a human would have avoided the Queen exchange by playing 13...Qe8, just
to keep the queens on the board and exploit his better development, etc.
