I found the draw by giving Genius3 to play against itself after the interesting
Qe3 and trying to improve the line for deeper blue with no success.

I saw an evaluation of draw after many plies in the relevant lines and I found
no improvement for deeper blue by trying next best.

I think that the draw is obvious for a team of human+microcomputer+some hours.

I was disappointed from deeper blue because I expected deeper blue before the
match to find everything that  human(with elo less than 2000)+micro+some hours
can find about tactics.
