This is not an attempt to influence or even contribute to the ongoing Gandalf
controversy, as IMHO most of that thread can be disposed of with the classic "de
gustibus non est disputandum".
This is an invitation to enjoy a remarkable game between two programs. In this
case Gandalf wins in style that many will find entertaining. For completeness
(as this game did have a wider context) I will mention that a 10 game match was
won by Nimzo 8 by the score of +3 –1 = 6.
BTW, games were played on two P3-933 MHz machines. Enjoy!
