FIDE
Gurevich, Mikhail  g BEL 2641 22.02.1959 M
Ranked    47


congradulatons to Shay and Amir.

amazing pressure by Junior7 throughout game.
Junior7 advanced with every move.
GM acted like he was so surprised at the pressure and level of attack,
  that he questioned when to advance.

here is my opinion on this GM playing this opening against a top program.
I say this based on the performance of this GM after last book move.

1.c4?     (d4,e4)
3.g3?     (d4)
5.Qxc4?   (Bg2)
8.0-0?    (a4)
9.d3?     (d4)   last book move



GM move 10.Bf4, traded bishops.
GM move 12.a4?  opens the a-file, places black bishop on open diagonal, forces
black to castle and black rook is now in play.
GM move 16.Qa5?  now with 17.Na3 GM threatens to win pawn at b5. here I think
maybe GM did not see 20...Rxb2 to even material.
After the Queen exchange, and black winning back the pawn, GM finds
that black is active and threatening, with white looking like the GM has
no develoment and no plan.

after     20...Rxb2.
The GM has all his pieces tucked tight, and inside the third rank.
GM worried about king safety?
Junior7 has active pieces: bishop at a8, rook at b2, pawn at c5.
Both sides are even in material.
