The critcal moment in the game. I was actually attending this game live in
Philadelphia and everybody was speculating 16. Bxh6 ...it was considered the
typical Kasparovian type of move ...alas, after quite a long think by Gary, he
played Be3. Later, after the game in the post-mortem analysis, Gary said that
if was playing a human, he would have played Bxh6 without question. He was
concerned he could not see a clear win and that Deep Blue would come up with a
refutation. Later, it was revealed that Deep Blue also thought Bxh6 was the
best move.
Gambit Tiger sees Bxh6 in ~83 seconds with +1.14 on my Xeon P3 1.7 Ghz
Modified Crafty did not see it after 40 minutes
