I don't trust the computers here, they can easily give +1.50 pure >speculative. I did test it but the way that I suggest to test is generating a tree of logical alternatives(the tree may have something like 20 leaves when it is clear by computer analysis that every move out of the tree is bad) and try comp-comp games at long time control(like 1 hour per move) from every leave and after looking at the games trying to improve the moves of black in case that black is losing or to improve the moves of white in case that white draws and play again comp-comp games if they are needed. Note that I did not claim which move is better but only that Vincent's words prove nothing and we have no convincing evidence which move is better. Claiming that he looked at it for hours without giving specific lines to beat programs with white after Rxe6 is no proof even if kasparov says it. Posting some games when he beated top chess programs after Rxe6 at 1 hour per move is more convincing evidence. It is not important for me to spend computer time about investigating the truth so I do not analyze it but if other care about the truth they should spend time about it by playing comp-comp games at long time control.
