Anmon vs Crafty, a very nice game

[Djordje Vidanovic]

I play lots of matches with different programs at 5 min per game and was struck by a particular game between Crafty 16.16 (SMP, on a dual machine, 128 MB RAM, Win NT) and Anmon. Anmon (4.27) was White and "dispensed" with Crafty in under 25 moves. This is a very rare occurrence so I wished to share it with you -- watch the attack starting with move 13:
[Event "Computer chess game"]
[Site "DUAL PII"]
[Date "1999.08.31"]
[Round "3"]
[White "AnMon"]
[Black "Crafty1616"]
[Result "1-0"]
[TimeControl "300"]
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 a6 5. Bd3 Nf6 6. O-O Bd6 7. Be3 O-O
8. Nd2 Qc7 9. f4 e5 10. fxe5 Bxe5 11. Kh1 Nc6 12. c3 Bxh2 13. Rxf6 gxf6 14.
Qg4+ Kh8 15. e5 Qxe5 16. Qh4 f5 17. Bxf5 Qg7 18. Bh6 Qg3 19. Qf6+ Kg8 20.
Nxc6 dxc6 21. Ne4 Qxg2+ 22. Kxg2 Be5 23. Qxe5 f6 24. Qg3+ Kf7
{Black resigns} 1-0

12...Bxh2? was a grave mistake. How long would it take Crafty to find 13.Rxf6 ?
However, it's good to know AnMon can find it.
