Giancarlo was right, for a long time white had _zero_ chances to
win if black wanted to draw. Screwing the game at the end is no proof of
anything. If you want to win, you always risk losing.
Typical comp-human game. The computer misevaluated and went to and endgame
thinking that it had advantage when it didn't, and the human did not measure the
consequences to play for a win and ended up losing.
