A very tactical recent game of Arasan's:

 0-1 {ArasanX resigns}

Arasan apparently missed a win several times. One is at move 20:

[D] r3k1r1/pR1b1p2/2n1pQpp/3pP3/8/2P2N2/P1PKB1qP/5R2 w q -

Here Rxd7! is better than h4. Crafty finds this in under a minute,
Pharaon in about 2 1/2 minutes. Arasan 5.4 takes over 4 minutes
(Athlon 1.4 GHz).

Arasan 6.0 (latest build) can't find it in 10 minutes - maybe
some bug, I'm not sure.
