Changed my mind (I'm allowed!). I was afraid the final position from last
posting gives DT drawing chances two pawns down: 47 Rc1 Ba3 48 Bd5 Bc1
49 Be6 Kb7 50 Bd5 Kb6 51 Bg8 Bh6 52 Rb8 Kc7 53 Rb1 h3.
Now 47...Ba3 fails to 48 R1a3 Ba3 49 Bd2 with the plan Ba5: 49...h3
50 Ba5 Rg7 51 Bb5! and 47...Ba3 48 Bd2! Rb3 49 Bc1.

I bow to human frailities: I see the win and I want to simplify toward
it. The computer should be happy: he will win a pawn in the process.
Computers probably won't do this until they have end games built in and
they, too, see the win.
