This seems an example of why not to resign, since though crafty resigned at move
74 with approx -9.00 eval (guess) it could have resigned at move 70 when at move
71 the GM could have played 71 c8=Q...Kxc8  72 Ke6...Bc6  73 a8=Q...bxa8
74 d7+ followed by queening, in place of 71 Kf6. Craftys eval at move 70 again a
guess must have had it at more than -9.00. Naturally time could have played a
role, and should play a role when it comes to winning or losing as most humans
play on when winning on the clock in a blitz game, why shouldn't a computer do
the same thing.
Thanks again for posting the game!!
Thanks.
