Fritz 6 on Athlon 1.2 GHz sees the correct move in under a second, but is MUCH
slower than Tiger in coming up with an evaluation of over +2 for black (over a
minute to improve on the following):

67...Ke8 68.Qb8+ Kf7 69.Qd6
  ³  (-0.31)   Depth: 1/4   00:00:00
  =  (-0.16)   Depth: 3/8   00:00:00
67...Kf7 68.Qb3+ Ke7 69.Qb7+ Ke6 70.Qxg7 Qe2+ 71.Kh1 Qd1+ 72.Kh2
  =  (-0.19)   Depth: 3/11   00:00:00
  =  (-0.13)   Depth: 7/19   00:00:00  25kN
67...Kg8 68.Qb3+ Kh8 69.Qb8+ Kh7
  =  (-0.16)   Depth: 7/19   00:00:00  35kN
  =  (-0.16)   Depth: 10/26   00:00:00  362kN
67...Kf7! 68.Qb3+ Kg6 69.Qc2+ Kh6 70.Qg2 Qd1 71.a6 Qa1 72.Qe2
  =  (-0.19)   Depth: 10/26   00:00:00  467kN
  ³  (-0.38)   Depth: 10/29   00:00:00  647kN
67...c5!
  ³  (-0.41)   Depth: 10/29   00:00:00  812kN
  -+  (-1.81)   Depth: 13/33   00:00:04  4441kN
