0-1

Taking a brief amount of time to go through the game with Chessmaster 9000 on a
humble P3-733, CM9000 thinks that White is winning all the way until 28.Bxd3?,
at which point the eval immediately goes toward Black's favor. CM9000's analysis
of that position is as follows:

[D]2b2rk1/1p3pq1/6np/1BPP3Q/1P2P1p1/P2p1pP1/3K3P/R6R w - - 0 28
