Hi to all,
This is a beautiful game by the Great Master Leonid Stein.
I am interested to know, How many programs can avoid the fatal mistake 21.Qxh1?
Deep Fritz can avoid that!!!, Deep Fritz can see that Qxb3 is better than Qxh1.
Junior6 and Hiarcs7.32 and Fritz6 can´t avoid that...
The position is very interesting, in this kind of position you can see some
computer weak points, (the machines sometimes have so much appetite, and can´t
see the great atack by White after move 21.
Another question? Which program can find 12.Qb3! ???? (with a winning endgame)
- because after change Queens, White is much better. I think there are no
program that can find this move.
Please look this game, and post your results here.
I will like to know what think Gambit Tiger, Rebel, Shredder, Crafty, Gandalf
and other strong programs.

Black should have change Queens. (Dxb3). Now with this Rook sacrifice, White
is winning! -(Stein.)} 13. Qxb7 13... Kd8 {
A very dramatic and obligatory King move! - Black position is hopeless!} 14.
N2f3 Bd3 15. Bf4 $1 {A very fine move!} 15... Qxf1+ 16. Kd2 Qxf2+ 17. Kxd3 {
Black is lost
} 17... Nxe6 18. Nxe6+ Ke8 19. Qc8+ Kf7 20. Nfg5+ fxg5 21. Nxg5+
Kf6 22. Qe6# {A beautiful mate !!} 1-0
Three Cheers for the Great Master Leonid Stein !!!!!
