Deep Junior is just 1/2 point behind Rybak in the Thüringen 2010 tournament. This is a beautiful game vs Fire 1.3.

When you look at this position, most would NEVER dream white could get connected passers!

[d]1q3r2/r3bpk1/p1Bp2pp/4p3/8/2P2Q1P/1P2RPP1/3R2K1 w - - 0 28

However, move 76 we have this position.

[d]1q6/1P4r1/r1Pp1Qpk/3B1p1p/5P1P/p2Rp1P1/3bK3/1R6 b - - 0 77

So let's see, Junior was a pawn down, and ended up with this position. Stunning!
I guess some do not see that transition as beautiful. Pity for them! I for one think the game was nothing short of masterful genius. Capiche?

Looking over the game with Stockfish it appears that black started to lose the thread around move 61. ... Rc7. Stockfish thinks that 61. ... Rb8 was better.

Indeed I believe many engine will see the win from many positions. But, will they be able to get connected passers from this position ?

Hi Robert
Deep Junior 11.1a has indeed played some interesting games. In almost every game Junior was a pawn down with some compensation. But at the end it was almost always Junior to get the win.

Junior did not have a chance, had it not been for Fire's hardware unstability. When your engine restarts something like 3-4 times in a row, due to too much overclock. You are doomed to lose the game...
Another issue is the book. I heared that Fire played with no book at all.

And who's fault is that? Give credit where it's due.

Junior won the game, and it was a nice one, no matter what the reason.

Nonsense, these are clearly book moves up to move 17.
