Nothing big I can see.  At move 19, crafty expected Nxd3, score=.15, Bringer
played Rc5, my score improved to +.55 from ply 1 on, so this is positional.
Next small jump was at move 25, but it happened on the predicted move.  Score
went from .52 to almost +1. but bringer played what was expected, so this was
just 'lucky' (or wrong).  By move 29 score was back to +.5.  By move 35, my
score was down to -.20 at depth=12.  By move 37 it was back to +.36 even though
Bringer had made nothing but predicted moves.  It dropped to almost even until
black played Qb5 at move 38.  Score went to +.65 there, which seems to be a
positional gain again.  On 43 Qe5 score went from +1.0 to +1.3 but the PV
doesn't yet show the win of a pawn.  The depth here was 15 plies for reference.
The score goes steadily up from here, without any 1.0 jumps at all, just slow
progress (say +.1 to +.2 every move from this point on).
