This is from a 30' game Gandalf - Larsson, played in WinBoard with PIII 800.
Gandalf used its original book and 56MB hash. White has just played 19.h3
and right here black has the interesting and strong counter blow 19.-e4!
Funny thing is that Deep Fritz shows an advantage for white all the way
to 15.-Nf6, where things were judged as about equal. But there was never
any pressure from white and black had really an easy game. Maybe it has
something to do with difficulty of finding a plan, when there is no direct
conflict between the pieces. Black got all the play and missed a natural
move (28.-Bf6!), so the game was drawn. Below the pgn.
