Congratulations, Kurt
If we are to believe that the top engines are as strong as the top humans then
this is a great accomplishment. Of course, I believe that grandmasters can draw
at will against programs. You have pointed out why comparisons between the two
are complicated(with this game). Would you get a draw against Kasparov? Probably
not.
Good Luck with you future games
Tony
