Subject: Two nice CSTal Blitz games

Hi all,

despite Thorsten's claims, CSTal is occasionally able to play some brilliant
games at Blitz time controls. Below are two examples played at 10/game on two
PIII-550's (CSTal used Thorsten's new chess.sty). Although both finally ended in
a loss, the way CSTal drove its opponents in the corner is fascinating.
I especially liked the game against Shredder; it is unbelievable CST still
managed to lose it. :(
38.Nf5!! is simply astonishing.
After 45. Bxf6, Shredder showed -2.5 and I suppose Hiarcs or Chessmaster would
have won it from that point.
