This reminds me on the same winning move in Thueringen last year where Tiger has
also overseen Nf3+ vs. List 5.01 but with tournament time control. Here it is:

[Event "Thüringen 2002"]
[Site "Mohlsdorf"]
[Date "2002.11.15"]
[Round "8"]
[White "Chess Tiger 15.0 - Cel. 1539"]
[Black "List 5.01 - AMD 1700"]
[Result "0-1"]
[ECO "A29"]
[PlyCount "123"]
[EventDate "2002.11.15"]

27...Nf3+ is a deadly move.
