Tonight I played this game vs Crafty on ICC, it was a great game to watch.
Gandalf's very active King proved to be the difference.

Interesting in the game was that Crafty used 12:09 for 38. Nxh7 and then 7:12
for 45. Kf2
That is almost 1/3 of the initial time control on two moves.
Gandalf played in the CP interface using my book that I have been making
manually (it is painstaking to manually make a book in that interface unless you
want something that is just generated from a source.) that includeds _many_
variations of the Sicilian.
It was definately a good game to watch, as was the game we played last night
were Crafty won:
