Im still very impressed by this position and DB correct decision not to play
Qb6. I can imagine that this position has been discussed widely before, but
you say DB never played impressive moves todays programs cant find.

[D] r1r1q1k1/6p1/p2b1p1p/1p1PpP2/PPp5/2P4P/R1B2QP1/R5K1 w - - 0 36

Do you know of any program who would not play 36.Qb6?
All my programs would play it.
Can someone please check what move DJ7 would play in this position?
