Subject: Bishop Sacrifice From Kasparov-DeepBlue

Hi, I was looking at game 6 from Kasparov's first match against Deep blue When i
noticed some analysis that i had missed before, that of Kasparov not playing the
more forcing win.

Kasparov,G - Comp Deep Blue Game 6 1996

[D] 2rr2k1/pp1qnppp/2n1p3/3p4/1bPP3P/1P2RNP1/PB3P2/1BRQ2K1 w - - 0 1

I had been wondering if any program could point out Deep Blue's mistake which
leaves the eval at +- is Kasparov's favor however this is more gradual and there
is probably no hardware in the world that can see that deep who knows how deep
that would be??? Then i got the idea if commercial software could find the
quicker win that i would have a better idea of what they really need to trounce
Deep Blue . In reality though, this is another story as after 27 and a half
hours and a depth of 20/53  Fritz still prefers Kasparov's move 20.a3 but the
eval is wrong when it suggests 21.c5 so i take it that computers still need alot
more work.
