Hmmm.. that's a bit like saying you liked the tornado because you escaped alive.
That, imho, was a butt-ugly game. It highlights both the tactical and
positional shortcomings of both programs; other than that, it was great. Thanks
for posting! (just kidding, Andrew.)
A couple positions. In the first, Amateur misses probably a forced draw (Rf8)
due to overestimating its position, plus lack of sufficient depth. (PM would
also play g5 here, if the roles were reversed, btw. Just so you know. :))
After this, PM sort of stumbles toward victory.
[D]2rNk1r1/3Rp3/1p4pp/p1q1p3/P1P2n2/1P3Q2/1K5P/3R4 b - - 0 36
In another highlight, PM misses the winning Rxe7+, playing Qh7, which prolongs
the agony for awhile.
[D]2rNk3/3Rp3/1p3r1p/p3pQp1/P1P2n2/1P6/5q1P/K2R4 w - - 0 41
I do hope no one runs a blunder-check on this game.
