I was wondering if anyone had analyzed game 14 endgame of the Kasparov-Kramnik match with computer programs + tablebases. Team Kasparov claims that black missed a win (move 55), and white missed a draw (move 46). Do computer programs make same assessments? Here's the game: [Event "BGN World Chess Championship"] [Site "London, England"] [Date "2000.10.31"] [Round "14"] [White "Kramnik, Vladimir"] [Black "Kasparov, Garry"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] [ECO "A00"] [WhiteElo "2751"] [BlackElo "2830"] [PlyCount "114"] 1.
