It is worth noting that Tiger 15 sees these moves rather quickly (almost
instantly actually) with significant scores in a few seconds.

So do almost all the other top chess programs.

So if there are interesting moves (in the sense of surprising for a computer) in
this game, they must be somewhere else.
