I've gone over this game a couple of times and agree it is fascinating, with some incredible play along the way. One of the most brilliant middle games manuevers to me was White's sacrificing a man on move 33 (and thus being down a man to Chinook!!! - nearly always fatal) in order to position a man on 10. White got his man back 7 moves later (move 40) and terrific play followed but, as Chief said, 30-26 did the trick on move 50 and from there Black suffered a slow & agonizing death. If, that is, computers suffer like us humans do in similar circumstances. LOL Thanks Chief!!!

George Miller who resides on top of Bank's Ladder tells me that he uses a method of playing from man down to cramp most programs. He jams his pieces on the lower left side and the programs don't recognize that their options start shrinking with each move. It's very tricky business and not for the squeemish because a single mistake and you lose but Miller seems to have it mastered.
