CM9000 Personality=Roy2 spots the drawing move 40... Kd8 on my Pentium III 500
MHz laptop in much quicker fashion:

Time	Depth	Score	Positions	Moves

Also, Roy2 thought that the pawn sac 8... Bd7 was valid, in the sense that it
would also play it.  It did give a small plus score to White as a result of the
pawn sac however:

Time	Depth	Score	Positions	Moves
0:02	1/7	0.19	88610		8...Rb8 9.Nge2 b5 10.cxb6ep Rxb6
					11.Qc2 Bg4 12.O-O

0:06	1/8	0.10	290288		8...g6 9.f3 f5 10.Nge2 Bg7 11.Nf4

					Bxc6
0:29	1/10	0.07	1493414		8...Bd7 9.Qxb7 Rb8 10.Qxa6 Nb4
					11.Bxd7+ Qxd7 12.Qe2 Nd3+ 13.Kf1
					g6 14.f3

All played on a Pentium III 500 MHz laptop with 64 MB RAM for hashtables.
