16. Bb2 k! Now Black must play 16...f4! and run!} (
16. exf5 gxf5 17. Rb1 $13 {quite unclear but in my opinion favours machine})
16... Qd7 {Typical anti-computer. Garry speculates on the fact White doesn't
want to take e4xf5} (16... f4 17. c5 g5) 17. Rb1 {As a matter of fact I didn't
like Black's last move. Now after c4-c5xd6 & Nd2-c4-b6 Black's Q will be
attacked. Still I believe in Garry's talent! Let's wait...} 17... g5 {
Did something go wrong for Garry or???} 18. exf5 {is very natural} 18... Qxf5 {
Now 19.Nf1 is quiet good occupying e4-square} 19. Nf1 {
Now Black must suffer - sorry for a human race - at least for Garry} 19... Qh7
{Still fighting for e4-square. Not a big chance...20.N3d2 is expected - White
is on top!} 20. N3d2 {Still 20....Nf5 and Black might be OK} 20... Nf5 21. Ne4
{Now Black must be worse somehow but White lacks some dynamic improvements
Actually Black must take on e4 to avoid another White Knight here} 21... Nxe4
22. Rxe4 h5 23. Qd3 {over-protecting e4 if machine can understand this Now
Garry will have hard times - I bet. Now he can regret about missed f5-f4
chance - but still too late...} 23... Rf8 24. Rbe1 {Everything clear -
everything correct - and ready to occupy e4-square with the knight} 24... Rf7 {
c4-c5 might be just in time} 25. R1e2 {Slowly but... who knows Actually after
I looked at this position I understood that Black has enough counterchances -
bravo Garry! However, we all thought you'd be playing more aggressively} 25...
g4 {Attackka!!? However I can imagine Gary having fun in thus positional attack
} 26. Qb3 26... Raf8 {Now b4-b5 is required} 27. c5 {No comment - typical
machine play As you see this is nowhere to go! 27...Qg6!? is a normal human
move} 27... Qg6 {Now White is under some pressure. The problem is not White's
position is worse but thhat machine "thinks"" it's better for some reason...}
28. cxd6 {I would better not comment on computer moves - this is the one I
don't understand at all.} 28... cxd6 29. b5 axb5 30. Qxb5 {
Now h5-h4-h3 and what's up???} 30... Bh6 {
Too clasic but might be due to time-scramble} (30... h4 $5) 31. Qb6 {
Threatening Bb2Xe5} 31... Kh7 32. Qb4 {
It's "computer logic" - preventing h5-h4 - however, it doesn't help} 32... Rg7
$2 {Errare humanum est} (32... Kg8) (32... Rc7) 33. Rxe5 dxe5 34. Qxf8 Nd4 35.
Bxd4 exd4 36. Re8 36... Rg8 {37.Qe7 wins} 37. Qe7+ Rg7 38. Qd8 38... Rg8 {
please call Garry's cellphone} 39. Qd7+ {
Whenever -human played better - but lost - what to do????} 1-0
