  5. fxg4 fxg5
  6. Nf3 Nf6
  7. Nxg5 Ec8
  8. h3 h6
  9. Nf3 Ee6
  10. g5 hxg5
  11. Nxg5 Eg8
  12. e3 Ne4
  13. Nxe4 O-O-O
  14. Eg4 Kb8
  15. Ng5 a5
  16. Bb5 Nxd4
  17. cxd4 g6

  22. Exh3 b4
  23. Eg3 Kc7
  24. Rc1 Kb6
  25. Ne5 Bxe5
  26. dxe5 Eb8
  27. Eh2 Ee8
  28. Ef4 g5
  29. Eh2 g4
  30. Eh6 Ka7
  31. Eh4 Eg8
  32. Exe7 Eh8
  33. Rc5 Ka6
  34. Rxd5 a4
  35. a3 b3
  36. Nc3 Kb6
  37. Nxa4 Kc6
  38. Rd6 Kc7
  39. Rc1 Kb8
  40. Rd8 Exd8
  41. Exd8 Ka7
  42. Eb6 Kb8
  43. Kf2 g3
  44. Kxg3 Ka8
  45. Rc8

I would have given the applet the first move advantage, since I suspected it would be weaker, but I don't know how to get the applet to move first. One thing I found frustrating about the applet is that it would never highlight its last move. So, I would often have to figure out what its move was by comparing the two boards.
