{183MB. ACER_6100} 1. d4 {0} 1... Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. c4 Bg7 4. Nc3 d5 5. Nxd5
Nxd5 6. e4 Nf6 7. e5 Nfd7 8. c5 O-O 9. Bc4 e6 10. h4 b6 11. h5 bxc5 12. hxg6
hxg6 13. Bg5 Qe8 14. Qc1

This position is from a correspomdence game of my friend moshe
White did a mistake in writing the game correctly and meant 5.cxd5 and not
5.Nxd5
White discover the mistake only later when he tried to play 7.Bc4 that was an
illegal move.

Black believed that programs have no problems to win with a piece advantage and
prefered to devote more time for other games.
The moves of black are typical computer moves.

Black discovered only at move 14 that there are problems to win the game.
Analysis with chess programs proved him that the typical computer moves f6 or f5
are losing and that he has to think about a way to save the game.

Moshe played finally Bb7 when this move probably leads to a draw(the game is now
at move 22 and it is probably going to be a draw).

I am interested to know what is the evaluation of chess programs of the position
after 14.Qc1

Here is the relevant position

[D]rnb1qrk1/p1pn1pb1/4p1p1/2p1P1B1/2BP4/5N2/PP3PP1/R1Q1K2R b KQ - 0 1

I am interested in the evaluation of gambittiger in order to know if it
understands that black is not better(Chessmaster6000(ss=10) can see after some
hours evaluation of 0.00 but still wants to play the move f6 and other programs
that moshe used are not better)

I did not analyze f6 and f5 but I believe that moshe knows that these moves are
losing because he told me that he analyzed the position with chess programs for
50 hours
