I've just completed a 100-game blitz match between Gothmog 0.4.2g and AnMon
5.21, which
was won by AnMon with a score of 59.5-40.5. Both engines won several really
cool games; I'm
beginning to become a fan of AnMon.
In one of the games won by Gothmog, the following position arose:
[D]2r1k2r/pp1bppbp/3p1np1/q7/4PPn1/1NN5/PPPQ2PP/1K1R1BBR b - -
In this position, Gothmog played the spectacular queen sacrifice 13... Qxc3!?
and won
after 66 moves.
Is this move really sound? Do any other engines like the sac?
