Ah, hoped you would have the game saved somewhere. Would be interesting to see if it can be replicated.

It is an interesting opening for braver souls than me. Botvinnik and Smyslov had some interesting games in this line.

I like to play strong computers against each other and try to understand the chess. A very interesting position occurred the other day. I gave Komodo and Stockfish each an hour with a 10 second increment. The game was a Winawer French. Komodo, as white, played a line with an early Qg4 followed by Qxg7 and Qxh7 after black's Rg8. They reached a position that Komo do evaluated in its favor as .5 while Stockfish evaluated in its favor as -1.31. I have never seen two top engines disagree by such a margin. Komodo was subjected to a brutal attack for 20 moves or so, but survived and eventually was able to win by simply marching the passed h pawn from h2 to h8. Apparently Komodo's evaluation algorithm attached a high weight to the passed h pawn as a long term asset while Stockfish didn't. So let this be a cautionary tale against assuming that a 3000 engine always knows what is going on. They are tactical monsters, but in this instance Komodo had good strategic judgment and Stockfish didn't.
