THIS IS THE POSITION THE GM HAD, AND CHOSE TO FORCE THE DRAW BY THE THREE MOVE
RULE.

BUT HERE, f4 IS A WINNING MOVE FOR WHITE IN THIS POSITION, NOT THE GM MOVE OF
e7.

THE DRAW WAS NOT NECESARY FOR THE GM, ONLY BECAUSE HE WAS IN TIME TROUBLE (was
he ?).
IF I RECALL AT THIS POINT HE HAD NINE SECONDS LEFT ON HIS CLOCK.

I THINK THIS WAS A 5/3 GAME.

at   depth     19/32  shredder5 has eval of +3.34 for the GM.
at   depth     18     tiger     has eval of +2.32 for the GM.



ok now lets play this position from here, because in this position the two
programs say no draw.



1.Qf4 Bxd7 2.Qc4 Bc6 3.Qxc2 Kg7 4.Qe2 Bd5 5.Qb5 Rh8 6.Qxa5 Ra8 7.Qxb4 Rxa2 8.Qb8
Rd2 9.Qb6 Rc2 10.Qd6 Bb7 11.Kf1 Bd5 12.Qe7 Bc6 13.Kg1 Kg8 14.Kh2 Kg7 15.Kg3 Rc1
16.Kf4 Rc2 17.Qf6+ Kg8 18.Kg5 Kf8 19.Kh6 Ke8 20.Kg7 Bd5 21.Qxf7+ Kd8 22.Kxg6
Rxg2+ 23.Kh6 Ra2 24.Qf8+ Kd7 25.Qd6+ Kc8 26.f4 Kb7 27.f5 Ra6 28.Qd7+ Kb8 29.f6
Rc6 30.f7 Rc8 31.Qxc8+ Kxc8 32.f8Q+ Kd7


in this position both programs anounce mate in 8.
