the game Atlanta-Risc2500 was a thoroughly entertaining affair, it seemed that both parties were in coffeehouse mode, wild opening, where Risc 2500 was out of book at move 2 whereas Atlanta had the book up to move 11 or so, wild attacks and counterattacks, some quieter moments and attacks again, very enjoyable chess...

This was the key position where MCGP allowed Ruffian a passed central Pawn that couldn't be stopped.
