Dann got me thinking, although I was saved by the 'clearly winning' ...Nh4, I had entirely failed to see the point of the text move ...Qe6!, which is the real winner, because after Bb3 (nearly forced) then White can no longer meet (after ...Qh6) ...Rxh3 with Re1 -- idiot that I am, I should have seen this -- find myself in real danger of 'thinking like a computer' here. Please, please, computer-lovers (as am I), believe me when I say that however strong these machines are, they are not exactly 'playing chess'. We need to study 'great games' just to understand how profound and beautiful human chess-thought is, or can be. And studying them with the aid of computer analysis is always especially revealing...
