Comment by player 1 : Graham Cridland :
A fascinating game that had a lot of "correspondence" feel to it, and also a lot of instinct overruling the computer. At many junctures my silicon friend attempted to lead me wrong.
For instance Fritz is enamoured of 32 h6+?!, which provides a bit of entertainment but no mate: 32...Kxh6 and White can't get enough pressure on the h-file because Black has ...Rh8 as needed.
After 35...Kxf8, White can't play 36 Qf1+ Kg7 37 Qf5 due to 37...Qg1+ when Black turns out to be the one attacking. 36 Qg2 covers g1 and threatens Qg2-g4-f5, when Black has to make time for Kg7 in any case.
The turning point was 36...a5? when the strong knight on c4 starts to look loose. 37 a4! Kg7 (...Qc5 loses control of f7, any move with the b pawn drops the knight to Qf1+, and none of the knight sacrifices provide compensation) 38 axb5 and the b-pawn becomes a serious distraction. 38 ...Qc5 39 b6 (to distract the knight from its threat of Nd2+ and gain access to f1: 39...Nxb6 40 Qf1 and the threat of mate wins the knight.)
Not an error free game, but an interesting battle of mutual activity. All the minor pieces were eventually placed on their ideal squares during the pivotal 30th-38th move period.
