This is of course move 37 from the DB-Kasparov game 2, where DB played Be4.
IIRC, this is where Kasparov said something like: "Only a few strong GMs would
try Be4."  Alas, I am away from my machine for a few days, so I cannot repost
the exact data yet.  It was something like:

Depth 17, Qb6 found to draw, Be4 was evaluated at +.17.  Search time: ~600(?)
minutes at 50% CPU time.  This is using a Crafty modified to have higher
king-safety values [attempt to make it slightly more DB-like in that respect].

This position and also the position after "36. Qb6" will continued to be
searched at 50% CPU time each for the next few days.  Hopefully 37. Be4 stays
the best move (and increases in eval), and 36. Qb6 xxx will have a large score
drop.  We'll just have to see what happens.
