Using Century 3 I noticed 2 important differences
[d]3r2k1/1b1nqppp/2pb1n2/1p2p3/rP1PP3/3B1NN1/2QB1PPP/1R3RK1 b - -
18. Ne2-g3 e5xd4 *
Shredder :12.00 0.18 exd4 Nf5 Qf8 N3xd4 Bxb4 Bxb4 Rxb4 Nxc6 Bxc6
CENTURY 3.0 :12.00 0.43 g6 Nxe5 Nxe5 dxe5 Bxe5 Bc3 h5 Bxe5 Qxe5 Rfd1 h4
18... g6 prevents the dangerous 19.Nf5 but weakens the black king-pawn shelter.
I wonder if 18...g6 is wrong too. Too difficult for me to judge. Still allowing
19.Nf5 looks as the start for black problems.
[d]3r1qk1/1b1n1ppp/2pb1n2/1p3NB1/rP1pP3/3B1N2/2Q2PPP/1R3RK1 b - -
19. Ng3-f5 Qe7-f8
20. Bd2-g5 Ra4xb4 *
Shredder :12.00 -0.48 Rxb4 Rxb4 Bxb4 e5 Qc5 exf6 Qxc2 Bxc2 gxf6 Bh6
CENTURY 3.!!:12.00 0.30 Rda8 Bxf6 gxf6 N3xd4 Ne5 f4 Ra2 Qd1 Nxd3 Nxd6
I don't understand 20...Rxb4, look at the score difference of 0.78. But maybe
in this stage it already makes no sense anymore. Hard to say.
Analyze level was 3 minutes average, PIII-800, using Analyze Game.
What do other programs say?

Hi Ed,
Chessmaster 6555 plays 18. ...exd4 too,
but about 20. ...Rxb4 CM doesnt think any time. It plays 20. ...Ra3 with score
of -0.11 (2:30 min), +0.02 after 9 min.
After 20. ...Rxb4 CM scores after 7 sec. +1.65 for White! [21.Nxd6 Qxd6 22.Rxb4]
-PS, is it just me or is CCC slow since the last weeks?
Yes, same to me.
