I got my December issue of Chess Life magazine today, and in GM Robert Byrne's column "65th Square" he analyzed the game of Shredder vs. IsiChess from the WCCC in Maastricht. I thought it was refreshing to see a chess engine other than the usual top contenders get mentioned in such a broadly read magazine. IsiChess lost the game, but any publicity is good publicity :) Here is the game. [Event "WCCC"] [Site "Maastricht"] [Date "2002"] [Round "-"] [White "Shredder"] [Black "IsiChess"] [Result "1-0"] 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nxc6 bxc6 6. e5 Qe7 7.
