Could someone run yesterday's Vote Chess game through a strong analysis program (i.e. Rybka so something similar) so that we can see what happened? The game is here:
http://www.chess.com/votechess/game.html?id=17641
We were up an exchange, and I thought that we were winning, but at move 31, we traded the exchange away for a position where we would be up only one pawn. We could not win in this position and had to settle for a draw.
I was in favor of this trade, because I was afraid that their two passed pawns would be too strong otherwise.
I thought we were winning, but looking back, I think we were overly cautious, even before move 31, and we gradually gave up our winning chances.
However, I would like to see what the computer, and perhaps some experts, have to say about the game.

Nobody in this group owns a chess engine that we can analyze this game with?
I do but I don't see any need, and it takes a lot of time that I don't have...
And you can get many for free
Kacparov,
Which free engine do you recommend? I would like to try it.
I don't know. I have Rybka and I paid for it. But the list by strength is here:

Actually sorry my brother won Rybka in a tournament, but you have to pay for it normally
