     8.Nbd2 Ne7 9.h3 Bxf3 10.Nxf3 Qb6 11.h4 h5 12.Re1 c5 13.Qa4 Nc6
     14.Bd2 a6 15.Rac1 Qa7 16.Bg5 b5 17.Qc2 c4 18.Qd2 Rb8 19.Ra1 Rb7
     20.Reb1 Qb8 21.b4 a5 22.bxa5 Nxa5 23.Bd1 Bf8 24.a3 Rb6 25.Qb2 Qb7

     32.a4 b4 33.Qf4 b3 34.Qf6+ Kg8 35.Nxf7 Qxf7 36.Qd8+ Kg7 37.Qxb6 Nbd6
     reaching the following position:
     [D]7r/5qk1/1Qn1p1p1/n2pP2p/P1pP3P/1pP5/5PP1/RR1B2K1 w
     And here Dark Thought played 38.Be2? instead of 38.Qc5
     IM van Mil:"I was deeply impressed how beautifully I was outplayed
                 by Dark Thought.I was lost but the computer missed one
                 thing.I had a potential breakthrough which was too far
                 away for the computer to comprehend.Because of that it
                 opted for the wrong exchange of pieces."
     The obvious questions: How today's chess programs evaluate the position?
                            Can they find the crucial Queen move? [38.Qc5]
     By the way,IM van Mil won the game in 86 moves. JAFM
