A middle-game fortress. Not often you see one of those.

Given that presumably neither side understood this, Ginkgo had a very lucky escape.

I was following the Baron v Komodo game and thought the Baron stood better in the middle game then within half a dozen moves it had lost.
No wonder my ELO is now half of what it was forty years ago!!

Don't feel too bad about this. These beasts are seeing far far beyond what any mere human can comprehend.

HIARCS just won a masterful game against Shredder as well, first out-booking Shredder by almost ten moves, then a mid-game exchange sacrifice and finally squeezing blood from a stone in a QP-Q ending. I'm curious whether this was a win all the way from the middle-game or whether Shredder missed a drawing resource somewhere along the way.
