My Reply to Bram Mourik, Rebel Forum
To see all lines please go to the Rebel Forum.
Good Work Bram! I haven't had time to study _all_ your side lines, but I looked
more deeply into you _Mainline_ and found an important variation, which again
appears to draw! *Sigh*
I will post _only_ the new variation from your _mainline_, so as to keep it
clear.
37.Bxd5 Nf5 38.Kf2 Kg7 39.Kf3 Nd6 40.Na2 f6 41.Ke2 Bb5+ 42.Kd1 Nf5 43.Bxb3 Nxe3+
44.Kc1 Nf5 45.d5 Nd4 46.Bd1 Be2 47.Nc3 Bc4 48.h4 fxg5 49.fxg5 Kf7 50.Kb1 Ke7
51.Ka1 Nf5 52.h5 -0.69/16 3 gxh5 -0.72/13 3 53.Bxh5 -0.69/12 2 Nd4 -0.69/17 2:27
54.g6 -0.75/13 4 Nc2+ -0.69/12 1 55.Kb1 -0.87/14 4 hxg6 -0.69/13 5 56.Bxg6
-0.66/12 1 Line
I used Fritz6 as an aid, but again it isn't
clear that we the Web have a certain win.
52.h5! by White seems to hold Tigers' Game.
Nonetheless, I'm impressed with this level of analysis!!

P.S. I believe at the moment the web has a draw with an advantage for Black.
But it's unlikely we have a forced win. Too many resources for White.
Although, White made an error on move 28 with 28.exd5? and a small error
again with 31.Ne4?!, so it's certainly possible that GT 2.0 may make
slip. If Tiger makes another inaccurate move, then the Web will most likey
have a win. I think this endgame may be too hard for GT 2.0 to handle well,
thus the chance to win is relatively good. (It's tough for _all_ programs)
If the web keeps up it's high level of play I think within the next few
moves we will see GT 2.0 probably start to misplay the position thus
making it possible for the Web to win.
The next 10 moves will be critical for White, so patience should yield
dividends for us The Web.
