In what can only be described as an amazing seesaw battle ..the MM6 jumps way ahead in material ...only to then fall way behind in material ...only to then stumble into a winning endgame which tied the match at 1.5-1.5

Now thats a rare variation of the Queen's Gambit if I've ever seen one.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the offer. We have 6 hours time difference, therefore in the week would be impossible and currently on weekends I have a lot going on. Perhaps we can revisit in a couple of months.

Thanks and regards,
Nick

This saturday at Playchess.com... 5 AM PST

Lets get ready to rumble...

White - Novag Turquoise elo 2013 (owner LWSteve)

Black - Saitek President elo 2018 (owner Rookorbycrook)

First to 3 wins - - - - - draws = 1/2

This is a classic Morsch vs Kittinger battle!

I'm hoping this first game comes down to an end game battle.
If its an end game battle...
I'm predicting that the Kittinger programmed Turquoise will take
the Morsch Saitek President out behind the woodshed! :D

We are going to try and play game #2 sunday morning at the same time.

I will post all the results in this thread.

Morsch unnecessary pawn picking Regards, :D

Is it first to score 3 Pts or 3 Wins?
If Wins...what do the draws matter ?


Time Control?
hopefully at least 1 Min.Per Move?

Don't Rush This Regards
