Well the thing that I have noticed, is that whenever a Computer wins a game from a human it is always some kind of excuse, too much noise, Grandmaster wasn't concentrating, time control, got up on the wrong side of the bed, whatever! I think we forget that people lose games because of a mistakes, if there was no mistakes made then everygame would be a draw, so to say that the grandmaster loss because of a mistake is saying very little. I was analyzing the Game with a Master pal of mine, and it took the master a few seconds to see the move Rxd7, This makes me think that the move h6 was a strategical decision by the grandmaster , I doubt that he overlooked Rxd7.
