I thought 18...Nb4 was a key move that allowed Kramnik to trade pieces to a pawn endgame for the win. We all know that just because a player is 2850, all moves are not 2850, and all games played are not on a 2850 level. I am not sure what other GM's think the level of this move is, or the level of this line played after this move. So I was curious if Deep Fritz7 could see the GM move 18...Nb4. I was also curious if Deep Fritz7 could see the line played after this move, which includes as you know, all of the GM moves. The answer is yes to my questions. It took Deep Fritz7 one hour and five minutes to find Kramniks 18...Nb4. It took Deep Fritz7 two hours and 33 minutes to find the line played in the game. This line included all correct GM moves, up to move 25. Even though Deep Fritz7 keeps the a3 move that Kramnik thought weakened whites game, I still find this interesting.
