Hi Ricardo, not possible - I will play against Nick today.
Tomorrow morning (lets say beginning 6:00 a.m Berlin time) would be my only chance this weekend ...

Unbelievable what a bad game. And what a bad tournament of the MCG Pro.
Yesterday and today I played 3 black games (on behalf of Paul) with exactly the machine that won Kaufbeuren, but 0 out of 3. And such bad games...
Hi Steffen,

If you like you can play some more games with the ChessGenius Pro. This week I am full with the last Liga B-games...
My Barracuda 40 MHz will be playing tomorrow his last game, and then unfortunately will vanish from the Liga competition. Just hoping he will not lose his fifth game too...

Best regards,
Paul

Sure, I can do that. Although my success was still less than yours
If someone wants to play against the Millennium Chess Genius PRO, please tell me.
I think only Mipo and Helge are missing.

I think, we can live without a tornament deadline.

Based on the good experience so far it'll take 3 weeks max. for the remaining 6 games...


Hope you can live with it Regards

The game between Reflection Vancouver vs Mysticum Aristarch 4.5 was an Italian oppening (Giuoco Pianissimo) white went out of book on move 8 and black on move10. This oppening sometimes leads to some tactics on early stages of the game but this was not the case. The game was leveled up to move 41 where black played 41..Ra4


[fen]1r2k3/6p1/1p4K1/p2RPP2/r6N/2P5/6PP/8 w - - 7 42[/fen]

Here the move 42.g3 for white should hold the game but white plays 42.Rd4? then came 42..RXR and the position evaluation went from 0 to -1,07 and after each of the following moves white position starts to fall down. Then after blacks move 53..Rc5

[fen]4k3/8/1p2K3/1Nr1PP2/8/8/6PP/q7 w - - 2 54[/fen]

Mysticum Aristarch 4.5 announces mate in 12.

I believe after this game Mysticum Aristarch 4.5 became the winner of this strong tournament. I want to thanks all the participants for let me be in on this tournament. Without that this could no have been possible. I enjoy each one of these games and also knew new people of this fascinating hobby. Still have to play Montreux.

Ricardo
