I am amazed by the number of pointless moves made by both sides in this game.

Maybe it's because of the position. I should check with my own program, maybe it
would also make these pointless moves.

I guess strong chess players would have a good laugh if they browse thru this
game. "And you need these thousands dollars computers to play like that???" :)

No offense intended to Stefan or James. It's the kind of game that makes me
think: "huh, I'd better work on better planning in Tiger, because maybe it would
play similarly in that position".
