You may well be correct - however it never fails to surprise me that a strong
club player can often spot things that the computer does not (or understands the
position better). I was looking at a game the other day and true enough a couple
of moved later the computer recognised the drawn nature of the position.

What does andrew martin suggest against h5? It would be interesting to play out
the human theory against the computer.

I could not find a game for the position in the 1m games that came with Fritz
only the following - I assume this is the line.
