Sorry to disagree with you but you are clearly blinded by your anti-computer
prejudice and refusal to see the facts. White was slightly better up until maybe
4 moves before the end, then walked into some B class tactics exploiting the 8th

of crushing Grandmaster play. Wake up and smell the coffee buddy.
