Hi,

I remeber Shredder was out of book quite early. it could be that was at move 9.
I have worked on this several months ago, so I do not remember well.

Well, I mean that we lost the game in the early stage. Better is that we got a
disadvantage in the early stage, which the program could not realize.

If so, Stefan did not realize it, too.

"If I destroy the fuel depots of the enemy. It will happen that the tanks of the
enemy may be limited in mobility, but this does not mean that my tanks are
better because they can move quicker and more."

Do you understand what I mean?

I mean that we lost the game in the endgame because we did not play the opening
phase in the right way and went in an inferior position to win the game.
Well, we did get a draw position, but we need to win, not to draw.
We did not loose because Yace played the endgame better.
We lost because we forced the position to win at all costs and in such positions
it is easier to lose than to win.

So, this game lost was basically a my mistake (a weakness in the book).
