Anmon is not good enough in tactics and it is possible that
a better program in tactics could avoid the defeat.

Here is the last blunder of Anmon

[D]3r1rk1/1b2npp1/1q1bp3/pp1pN1PQ/2pP1P2/P1P1P3/1P1N2K1/R1B2R2 b - - 0 1

Anmon played g6 when white has a simple forced mate after it.
The right move is probably Bxe5(f5 is probably
also better than the game move).

I do not say that objectively Anmon could save the game without g6
but it had better practical chances.
