I suppose Amir saved the game in the liblist for that id, I am not sure. A quick description: Junior was white, and had a comfortable position until it played Rh5, to start something against the black king. The rook was out of place there and this cost Junior a pawn 10 moves or so later. The GM saw this, and went about the business of piling up on white's pawns at c4/d4 and won one. The the GM overlooked a fairly simple tactic (to a program) where Junior played g4 and found a perpetual check. It took Crafty about 15 seconds to spot this, so I assume Junior saw it almost instantly as well. The game ended in a draw... early white looked better, later black was probably winning, then the g4 shot that led to the perpetual. Next game at around 9am CDT tomorrow...
