Rg1 1-0 I Believe the opening it chose was not good for a comp to play (I don't feel a human would even be comfortable with it :) I think that 3..c6 even 3..d5 would have been better suited for a program than the nc6, I don't like this move, it seems like a waste of time because it has to move again to allow a challenge against d5 with ..c6 ..d5 or some creative way. ..Bg4? :)) basically its pawn structure didn't get setup correctly against whites, no breaks where created (..b5 ..d5 ..f5) a big mess :) my opinion thanks
