What are some of the specific events of the game which stand out as being
especially impressive from a computer chess perspective? What do these show
about what is going on inside the program?
In other words, I am asking for an assessment whose purpose is to shed light on
the inner workings of the program.
What does the game indicate regarding the inner workings of the program?
