{North: Amazing, the queens are still on the board! Feivel: 1-0.} 1. e4 e5 2.

Rxd4 {TheVish: Nc6 - looks equalish} 15... Nc6 16. Ra4 {Time: 1.01:0.42} 16...
Rfe8 17. Bf4 {
Time: 59:41. SE: Tearing along pretty quickly to the standard draw.} 17... Bd5
{David: Comps don't seem to play very aggressively against Smirin. Did they
select some kind of passive play for the computers? Defensive?} 18. Re3 ({
DThunder:} 18. Re3 b5 19. cxb6 cxb6 20. Nc3 Rxe3 21. Bxe3 Rd8 22. Nxd5 Rxd5 23.
f3 f5 24. Rc4 Rd6 25. Bf4 Re6 26. h3 Kf7 $11) 18... b5 19. cxb6 {
TheVish: this game is pretty boring. The computer's tired?} 19... cxb6 20. Nc3
Be6 21. Nb5 {TheVish: There are only so many ways to describe this game. But
wait, it's getting mildly interesting.} 21... Bd7 {Time: 54:31} 22. h4 {
Shay: Basically Simirin's strategy so far was to simplify. TheVish: Na5 should
draw.} 22... Rxe3 {Time: 52:28} 23. Bxe3 {TheVish: Is Nd4 possible?} 23... Na5
24. Rb4 Nc6 {TheVish: These things don't allow this stuff.} 25. Re4 Re8 26.
Rxe8+ Bxe8 27. f3 {Time: 47:27} 27... f6 28. Kf2 Bd7 29. g4 {Time: 45:26} 29...
Kf7 {Curious: The programmers have to figure out a way to let the computers
play for wins at all cost and avoid the draws.} 30. Kg3 Be6 {Curious: Smirin
never had any intention to beating the computers. This is proof. He didn't
avoid queen exchanges.} 31. b3 Ke7 32. Bc1 Kf7 33. Nd6+ Kg8 {time: 37:25} 34.
Bd2 Kf8 35. Bc3 Ke7 {Curious: I'm betting that the computer engines aren't
pruning the drawing lines. This means that if there is a drawish line...the
computer will calculate that line and even use it as part of it's arsenal.}
