I've now done some examination and analysis with help from Hiarcs 7.00, and it
is clear that there were only 2 exceptional moves made by STORM which may not
have been made by earlier programs.
13...g5 (of course), and 20...Bxf2.(probably a superior positional motivation)
All the others could easily have been made even by Hiarcs 7.00.(i.e. they were
1st or 2nd choice after a short time, or thereabouts)
But Hiarcs disagrees with a good few of Fritz 6a's moves, so who knows if STORM
would get such a game against HIARCS 7.00?!
