A draw against Monte Carlo

Post by dedicate computers »

Finally managed to win the Monte Carlo! Joke, only draw with a winning position! Anyway, as my knowledge about middle and endgame is like beginner, I'm happy. A draw is 0,5 point! 51...with f4 the game is over.

That's good! Don't underestimate this. Better you play your Monte Carlo yourself than watching the moves of two computers for hours. If you do that at least once a week you'll soon get stronger.
