{Klamath checkmated} 0-1
(remark : all the moves are reproduceable by Rebel 9.0 :) )
After the first announce of the mate, the distance to mate went to
something like 94,92,91,75,72 and then a sudden jump to 'mate in 7'
Very instructive utilisation of EGTB :)
Question to Ed : Don't you think it's irritating that an amateur program
beat regulary a professional one ? Is Bruce a Magician ?
Question to Bruce : Is it possible to get some dozen of your games
against the higher rated players ? (I like this)
