Looking at this game just recently played, it seems both players get the end wrong. Not that this is so unusual, but some quick analysis with your favorite engine will probably show it right away. This is from the World Junior Chess Championships so I believe it was at tournament time controls but I couldn't verify from the web site for it. If there is any interest here I guess it's just the difference between these 2300+ players and computers when it comes to these tactical lines. Tikkanen,H (2343) - Babujian,L (2429) [D36] WJun Instanbul TUR (5), 13.11.2005 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Bg5 Be7 6.e3 Nbd7 7.Bd3 0-0 8.Qc2 Re8 9.Nf3 c6 10.0-0 h6 11.Bf4 Nf8 12.h3 Bd6 13.Ne5 Qe7 14.Rae1 N6d7 15.Nf3 Ne6 16.Bxd6 Qxd6 17.e4 dxe4 18.Nxe4 Qf4 19.Qb3 Rd8 20.Ng3 Nf6 21.Nf5 Nd5 22.Bb1 Ng5 23.N3h4 b6 24.Re5 Bxf5 25.Nxf5 Re8 26.Qc2 Rxe5 27.dxe5 Nb4 28.Qc3 c5 29.Re1 Rd8 30.Nd6 Nc6 31.Nc4 Nd4 32.Qe3 Ndf3+ 33.gxf3 Qxf3 0-1 On move 33 for Black, the position is: [D]3r2k1/p4pp1/1p5p/2p1P1n1/2N2q2/4QP1P/PP3P2/1B2R1K1 b - - 0 33 With Shredder, the eval is around -5.00 and chosen move is Nxf3. But after the played Qxf3, the eval flips to about +2.00. [D]3r2k1/p4pp1/1p5p/2p1P1n1/2N5/4Qq1P/PP3P2/1B2R1K1 w - - 0 34 There seems to be more than one line that salvages the game for White on close inspection, but in the game White resigned. Too bad, of course we already knew humans are not perfect. But then if we were, we wouldn't be playing chess. Cheers, Chuck
