Indeed. I think it is the second most interesting chess tournament ever, with
Deep-Blue/Kasparov {I'm lumping both together} as the only chess tournament as
fascinating as that one.
I did not happen upon that position by accident. It is part of the C.A.P.
analysis of the entire tournament. We have already analyzed every move of the
tournament at 12+ minutes of PII 300 MHz CPU time, and I am now employing Heiner
Marxen's excellent chess program against the whole of the EPD. This is one of
the undiscovered ones that struck me. There are a bunch more. In addition,
Steve Lopez is doing a very detailed blow-by-blow analysis of the entire
tournament which is available online:

I think that Mr. Lopez's analysis will be especially valuable {along with other
sources such as those that you mention}. It will be a sort of rosetta stone. We
have an enormously detailed analysis and we will be able to compare that with
computer generated analysis. This will help us to know:
1. Where are the computers weak?
2. Where are the humans weak?
3. What tactical plunder did the super GM's miss?
4. What brilliant sacrifices did the computers miss?
And all sorts of things of that nature.
