After Ne5, Qxb7 I agree that the initiative was with black. This transaction played into a strength of computers, namely the open tactical position, while at the same time giving the human the not so pleasent task of defending. I don't know what it is but my observation is that computers defend difficult positions better than humans of equal strength. This I recall was most evident when reading all the refutations being put forth by Amir and Junior on the ECM98 project. This was a very well played game to see the stages of Rebel's play culminating in a victory. Doubled rooks on the d file, aggressively placed Queen and Knight, the g pawn advance, the open h file, marching its king over to the queenside, and finally the e and f pawn advances.
