Subject: Paris Round 11 Part IV

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
