I showed this game to a master who works here at SRI. He said that
Black has played much the better game and has good prospects.
Congratulations humans!

Commentary

TLI@USC-ECLB
Yeah, it's time to castle all right. 13 ... O-O. Some other
interesting thoughts: 14 ... Qd7, preparing for 15 ... Bh3 (this is
for those unsubtle of mind and thought). How about 14 ... Nh5,
15 ... Nf4, 16 Pg3 Nh3. Well, light on the strategy and heavy on the
arrogance, but definitely interesting.
