I did not check this position but I know that there are positions from practical
games when CM is stronger than other programs in tactics.

CM found the move Bh3+ with positive evaluation in one position (I think posted
by silver) in less than 3 minutes and understood that it is a mistake for white
to take the bishop when other programs need a very long time to find that it is
bad for white not to take the bishop.

CM did an impressive sacrifice against Fritz5.32 when other programs cannot find
the move in tournament time control.

I agree that there are positions from practical play when CM is weaker in
tactics then other top programs but I saw also some examples of the opposite.
