Engine Analysis "Matta"

Lots of discussion in the opponent archive. It's a good read. They have good cooperation. At least one person was expecting a Sniper during the first few moves, another wanted to play an Austrian.

The game was pretty much even and White was holding their own until 39.a4 when Houdini said 39.h4 was nearly six pawns better. But then we gave up some ground with 41...Kf5 when Houdini said 41...h4 was about five pawns better. After 43...Ke4 White went down even with best play.

Endgame lovers will enjoy Houdini's post 48...Kg3 continuation.
