Making Chess History Regards
Steve
Now that the EAG 2100 has earned its place in chess history along side Rubenstein...i decided to put it to the real test..
a 5 minute Blitz game against Mwah..

as i mentioned in an earlier thread i no longer have the patience (or ability)to play long games anymore so i set up a 5 Min blitz against the 2100
why spend 2-3 Hrs playing a game where i will probably lose.. when i can achieve the same result(or possibly win) in 10 minutes?

here i essay forth...
13.a4!!

enabling my QB to enter the game on the next move with devastating effect
now i imagine the PC engines probably consider this move a gross blunder and it probably is ..but i knew it would cause the EAG trouble given it only has 5 minutes for the whole game
play continued...

13..Qe7 14.Ba3 a5 15.e4 fxe4 16.Bxe4 g6 17.Rfe1 Qg7 18.d5 exd5 19.Bxd5+

[fen]7k/1pp3qp/2n3pQ/p2B1b2/P1P5/8/1B3PPP/4N1K1 w - - 0 28[/fen]
a pretty position
its all but over..
28..Ne5 29.Bxe5 Qxe5 30.Qf8# 1-0

FINAL POSITION

Well played, Steve!

You managed to obtain the Killer Bees (long range bishops) as in the Rubenstein masterpiece. The rest, as they say, is chess history.
