aka round 2 ;)
The complicated and exciting Hertneck variation of the French Winawer is
certainly very tough to understand for the computers.
Movei out of book at move 15 chose 15. O-O, which is extremely untopical. Only
15. h4 can be the correct and logical move here, but I guess very few programs
will choose this move without book.

Junior maybe manouvred a bit carelessly in the opening, 20. ..Qf5 should be ?! .
A nice move by movei was 22. g4:

I won't comment on the following manouvres, some of them a bit painful to watch,
but not decisive at all -let's move on to the critical point:

[D]2q2r2/p3nrpk/1p2p1pp/3pP3/b1pP1PPN/P1P1B3/1RP3QP/3R3K w - - 0 1
37. g5 ? - ouch.
The first exchange sac is very typical and probably easy for humans (and
computers?) 38. ..Rxf4

But the second one is just great! 41. ...Rxh4!

The position after black's 46th move - that's the dream of any black Caro-Kann
player with 3. ...g6 come true :
