Subject: How does your engine read this subtle position?

Author: Cliff Sears

Who is ahead here? VERY subtle positional advantage.

This is the position in game one of Kasparov-Deep Blue. (after move 31 fxg5)
Kasparov went on to win the game. Ruffian engine analysis is even but
Daniel King (from his book Kasparov vs Deeper Blue) notes that
"Kasparov is down a rook for a bishop, but for the moment Black's rooks
have little to say. The real pride of White's position is the bishop
on b2"
