Here is the PGN and CM9000's output from Game three. It was a brutal game with
the pendulum swinging back and forth many times. Larry thought he had a win
until he played 58...f2+. Instead, 58...Rf4 almost certainly would have at least
drawn. Unfortunately, he took so much time on calculating the initial sacrifice
of 53...Rg3 that he said that he didn't have enough time to accurately calculate
the follow-ups.
Either way, an incredible game. Enjoy!
