Perhaps Crafty had less power or he played too fast at this moment (31...). This is a typical case where humans smell it but computers normally can calculate better. This c4 would have saved the life of Crafty in this game. Please stay connected for the coming days too. And I hope you have access to playchess.com - perhaps I can help you? Best wishes from Germany, Rolf
