I remember that shortly after the 1992 Linares tournament, I (10 years old then)
spent a whole day analyzing the following game with Chessmaster 2000:

[Event "Linares"]
[Site "Linares"]
[Date "1992.??.??"]
[Round "10"]
[White "Kasparov, Gary"]
[Black "Illescas Cordoba, Miguel"]
[Result "1-0"]
[WhiteElo "2780"]
[BlackElo "2555"]
[ECO "B45"]
[PlyCount "63"]
[EventDate "1992.02.??"]

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nc6 5. Nc3 Nf6 6. Nxc6 bxc6 7. e5 Nd5
8. Ne4 Qc7 9. f4 Qb6 10. c4 Ne3 11. Qd3 Nf5 12. g4 Nd4 13. Bg2 h5 14. g5
Bb7 15. Be3 Nc2+ 16. Kf2 Nxe3 17. Qxe3 Qxb2+ 18. Kg3 Ba6 19. Rab1 h4+ 20.

gxf6 Bc5 27. Be4 Rfb8 28. Kxh4 Kf8 29. Rg2 Qxc4 30. Qxc4 Bxc4 31. Bh7 Bf2+
32. Kh5
1-0

Position after black's 24th move:

[D] r4rk1/p2pbpp1/b1p1p3/4P1P1/q1P1NP1p/1RQ4K/P1R3BP/8 w - - 0 25

Even today no program manages to find Kasparov's move 25. Nf6+
