interesting article - i've snipped a part:
_____________________________
Chess Genius – Ilya Smirin
ICS u 2 12 09/04/94, 1994
B60: Sicilian: Richter Rauzer

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Bg5 Qb6 7.Bxf6 More standard
is: 7. Nb3 e6 8. Qd2 a6 9. 0-0-0 gxf6 8.Nd5?? This is the critical moment. White
can still settle for the standard 8.Nb3 but can’t resist what seems as a hung
rook – elementary childish combo Qxd4 9.Nc7+ Kd8 10.Nxa8 Qxe4+ 11.Qe2 Rook taken
in return for a knight and pawn – only to realize the no exit sign for the
knight at a8 f5 Smirin simplifies for a confident win 12.Qxe4 fxe4 13.Rd1 Be6
14.b4 Nxb4? Smirin can avoid giving slight counter play by the simpler 14…Bg7
but is winning anyway of course
______________________________

question: how long does it take today's programs not to play 8.Nd5?? ?
and do they really see it because of software advances, as shay says, or do they
see deep enough to see the knight is stuck? (i.e. does Nd5 appear as PV in the
beginning? how long?)
