I don't know anything about player "BxN", except that he (she?)
seems to play computers almost exclusively, loses a lot, but wins
enough to have a 2300 or so rating. So, master level if it's
really an unaided human (I have no evidence it's not).
Anyway, 41. Bc8! was a nice move. This is the position:
[D] 4k1nr/1r3p2/p2p1P1p/P2NpB2/2P3PP/2K5/8/5R2 w - -
Also note the sad state of Black's knight on g8 and rook on h8.
Effectively, Black is playing 2 pieces down. I've got some
Knight and Rook mobility scoring, but it won't detect when
someone is totally tied up like this. I've seen masters
do this sort of things to comps more than once.
