Fritz has resigned to Junior, so we have the new World Champion: It is Junior, programmed by Amir Ban and Shay Bushinsky. Congratulations a lot ! There was big applause in the tournament hall for the Israely team ! Virtual has just resigned to Dark Thought MChess shows about -11 against Shredder, and Shredder displays about +10 . Peter Schreiner, the operator of MChess, is in the process of preparing the resignation. A comment on Shredder: Stefan told Thorsten that he did not change the program after the bad start ( first four rounds with only 1.5 points ). It simply ran better ! By the way, Gandalfs sacrifice Bxb5 in its winning game against Shredder has been analysed intensively by many teams ( in the hotel rooms ). And only Gandalf seems to be able to find it. Woodpusher-Diep is drawish now. Queens and some more stuff has been exchanged, but White has a passed pawn on e6. Evals are Woodpusher +0.83 Diep -0.22 Arthur - Eugen is a technical endgame. White has naked queen, Black rook + 2 pawns. The queen can give lots of checks, but will that help much ? Evals are Arthur +2.95 Eugen -0.26 !!! Capture-Techno is strange: rook ending with two pawns on each side: Black on f7 and h7, White on g5 and h6. Evals are Capture +1.18 Techno -0.38 Thorsten thinks that it is a theoretical draw, but how can look into the chips ?! Techno has to play carefully. Next report in 30 minutes. IA
