Subject: Computer analysis of FIDE KO game Ponomariov-Al Modiahki

I've been enjoying performing game analysis of some of the FIDE KO games as they
become available.

One of the more interesting for me has been the Round 1 Game 2 matchup of
Ponomariov-Al Modiahki.  As I watched this game unfold on ICC I thought that it
would be very difficult for a human to accurately handle the three minor pieces
versus a queen.

When I analyzed the game with Hiarcs 7.32 (1 minute/move) the analysis showed
that the advantage changed hands several times.  I wonder how accurate this or
longer analysis really is.  Unfortunately, after I printed out the analysis I
didn't save it.

Any other opinions?
