I have issue with two moves:

[D]2r1k2r/3p1ppp/p1q2n2/1pb1p1B1/4P3/5BP1/PPP2P1P/R2Q1RK1 w k - 0 16

16.Bxf6? losing the bishop pair. CM9_R1 prefers 16.Qe2, followed by 17.Rfd1,
with a score of about +0.3. After 16.Bxf6 Qxf6, the score is almost even.

[D]1r6/b1rp1pk1/6p1/1p1Rp1q1/1P2P3/2P2RPB/4Q1KP/8 w - - 0 30

30.Qd2?? trading off queens instead of playing the obvious 30.Bxd7, which CM9_R1
scores at almost +2. Even 30.Qd1 would have been better.
