I have never seen anything like this game in all my years.

Move 33 and still something like 26 pieces on the board, 7 major pieces each side.

like many in here, I have played thousands of games and studied hundreds if not 1000's of games, and nothing I vaguely recall is playing out like this game.

a few moves back when black had clear kingside advantage and white queenside, humans would of fully commited to their attack- if nothing else, on a leap of faith that there had to be a winning line in their position. Instead both computers just kind of backed off it's a cold war

I let this last move go to something like depth 21. I put in the latest move and not too much later I see the evaluation improve quite a bit in white's favor....

35. Ra6 h5

There were two moves that Rybka thought would result in +0.62 but Fritz decided on something lower on Rybka's move list, so now the evaluation is back to half that.

well, duh. It's chess. Too serious to be taken frivolously; too frivolous to be taken seriously.
