Ferret didn't seem to find a suitable plan during the game and both programs showed over +3 for Black. 2. 42 ... Qa1? complicates matters, where 42 ... Qd4! (also expected by Ferret) wins very easily after the exchange of queens. 3. 43 e5! is a brilliant schwindle, the only chance to play on. 4. 43 ... Qxa3? spoils the win. Ferret expected the obvious 43 ... Qxe5! after which Black is still much better. 5. 50 ... Kc8?? was the losing move, according to Ferret 50 ... Qxe5 leads to a draw. Unfortunately Gandalf still thought it was better, but after Kc8? it was a forced loss. Still, a fascinating game with great tactics by Ferret, after a shaky start. Too bad for Gandalf, as it really played well op to move 42. Had it played 42 ... Qd4!, the game wouldn't have lasted very long.
