A fine game, as always. However, the position immediately before this move,
before your opponent played Re8, appears to be a draw, and all Black had to do
was play 36...Qd6+. {37.Kh1 b4 38.e7 Re8}.

[D]r5k1/7p/2p1P1pP/1p1q2P1/p7/4QR2/P6K/8 b - - 0 8

Can anybody show that this is a win for White? CM9000_R1 calls it a draw in one
second on an AMD 2500 and does not change its mind after three minutes.
