0-1
The interesting position is after move 17 from white:
2kr1bn1/pp4pr/qnp1ppNp/7P/3P4/P1B3N1/1PPQ1PP1/2KR3R b
I had a short look at this position with crafty who said that after 17... Bxa3
18. bxa3 Nc4 19. Qd3 Qxa3+ 20. Kb1 Rd5 21. Qxc4 Rb5+ 22. Qxb5 cxb5 white has a
big advantage.
Is there a better way for black to play? Maybe an idea is 20. ... b5 21. Nf4 g5
22. hxg6 Rb7 23. Qf3 (23. Nxe6 b4 24. Ba1 b3 25. Qxc4 Qa2+ 26. Kc1 b2+ 27. Bxb2
Qxc4) b4 24. Qxc6+ (24. Ba1 b3) Kb8 and I think black is winning.
What does your program say? What do you say?
Best wishes,
Steffen.
