Come on, that's ridiculous.  Uri plays correspondence chess at a very high level
using programs, he's not just setting them up, letting them run, then sending
off their moves.  I also was not born yesterday and am sufficiently familiar
with the DT/DB team's publications to understand their extension policy.

I don't think it is the case that Uri and I (or even Amir) are unwilling to
accept concrete analysis that demonstrates a large advantage.  The Hiarcs
analysis you mentioned sounds interesting -- if it's coming up with +1.7 after
32.Bg5, that sounds quite promising for your viewpoint.  Of course, I want to
see the variation! :-)  But generally speaking, +1.7 is indicative of a large
advantage of the sort that the half-pawn (or after Roy Eassa's 32...Kf8!,
three-quarter pawn) advantage I was seeing in the other line profferred couldn't
substantiate.
