That reminds me of a game List5.12-Crafty19.09 that was played some times ago.
Crafty got smashed in the first game of the short match.
(It ended 15:15. Don't remember the details.)
[D] 2r2rk1/1bq1bppp/pn2p2P/1pnp2P1/3NPP2/P1N2B2/1PPBQ3/2KR3R b - - 0 18
List just had played 18.h6? which is obviously a bad move since after 18...g6
white has nothing on the Kingside while blacks Initiative on the Qeenside should
be decisive.
Unfortunately Crafty replied 18...dxe4?? and got wiped from the board.
19.hxg7 Kxg7 20.Rxh7+ game over.
I let Crafty 19.10 analyse the position now.
I takes ages on the 1.6GHz AMD I am connected with the Internet.
I did some stuff but I don't think it has slowed down crafty considerable.
I see some need for improvement here.

Gothmog for example has no problems at all.
It was a no-brainer for my commercial programs of course.
