Human players, on the other hand.... But there is a forced mate in there as well, so you can have some more fun with your analysis! For example, after 24...g3, Chessmaster 9000 says there is a forced mate in 15 moves (or less). I leave it as an exercise to the author. :-) The position in question: [D]3r3r/kpNb1pq1/B1n1p2n/3p4/5Bpp/8/PP1Q1PPP/2R1R1K1 b - - 0 24 2) White can improve on your line by one move with 38.Qc5+!
