As I promised I give here the games of movei against humans so here is the second game(Movei is white) I hesitated if to offer my opponent a draw or to play with the hope for an error of the opponent(not that I have big hopes for it) so I asked yavgeni who originally operated the program in the previous game but could not operate the program in this game because of problems in his computer(I am better player than him but I do not want to hear people complain that I agreed to a draw too early). He suggested me to continue for 4-5 moves inspite of the fact that the position seems to be a dead draw. Note that the human got a big advantage after finding a brilliant move(from computer point of view) 14...Nxd5 I said nothing at that point but I suspected that maybe my opponent is using a computer. My suspect was proved wrong when he started not to find the best moves and played 18...Bxf3 instead of 18...Rb8 and continue to blunder by trading pieces. I believe that movei got a winning endgame but it could not find the right moves and blundered by 34.Ra1 when it planned to reply 35.Rxa5 to 34...Rcc2 because it did not see the perpetual check when it played 34.Ra1 (it could find it with more time but I was honest and did not use more than 44 seconds per move on my A1000 that is close to be equivalent to 1 minute of P733 that was used in the first round). Note that my opponent took the game more seriously than the previous opponent and there were moves that he used some hours for them but he also used only few minutes for many of the moves.
