hi thorsten,

you are right, i didn't look too long, but in that position Qe7 is a killer.
black does seem to be lost in this position.
still, black gives up 4 whole tempos with his
strange rook and knight moves which i mentioned. not even a 1600 human would
play rc8-b8-c8 - it's ridiculous... that black is punished for this is
ok. still, i wonder why you don't mention this with a single word but just
go saying something about paradigms...
i don't think black is lost before this rc8-b8, and there gamit
tiger already gives a very high score (0.86). in view of the exposed
position of the white king i find this quite optimistic. if i was
afraid as black in that position i would probably go for 25...d4 26 Bxd4
Nxd4 27. Qxd4 Bc6 and even though white is a pawn up i don't think he has
a serious advantage. but maybe the tiger has a different opinion :-)

cheers
  martin
