In round 10 of the ECC at Ohrid E. Sutovsky played S. Movsesian.
Sutovsky commented the game for the german magazin "SCHACH".
After move 47 the following position was reached with Sutovsky to move:

[D]3q1r1k/5Pp1/p4n1p/2pBR3/2P5/1P6/P3Q2P/6K1 w

Sutovsy says:
One of those positions in which computers cannot find the right move!
At least not in the time a human has to his disposal.
48. Re7!!
Now threatens Qe2 - Qe5 - Qc7. But what after
48. ..Nxd5
Sergej looked at me, as he wanted to ask: "Did you overlooked it?" No!
49. Re8!

And so on.
Which program can find 48. Re7 or which program can find 49. Re8 and in which
time!

Here ís the game
