Go up one level in this thread
I've also recently lost a game to "talmoves". Arasan had a score of
over +4 pawns around move 41 but managed to go downhill and lose.
I have annotated parts of the game with Fritz 5 (I haven't had time
to look at the whole game closely). Overall CS Tal played well, but
I am puzzled that it missed 32. Ne4 and 50. Qh7, which Arasan finds
very quickly.
