I was congratulating you for finding 14. Rh7+!!, because even very strong
programs on very fast PCs don't find it, yet I do believe it wins.  I did
nothing but force Gambit Tiger 2 to play through until it realized White was
winning (what you see above is its main line).  You, on the other hand, found
this incredible move.  I think that makes you GM strength, at least tactically,
which helps explain why you win all these games against strong programs.
