Subject: Century 3.0 -- personality STORM turns tables on Gambit Tiger

Author: Roy Brunjes

Some others have posted games here of the new sensation Gambit Tiger.  I have
also admired its play -- scintillating attacks that frequently end in Tiger's
favor.  Gambit Tiger is of course available on the Rebel 11 CD shipping any day
now.

As if that isn't enough -- Century 3.0 is an incredibly strong engine included
on the same Rebel 11 CD.  I have created a personality I call "STORM" that turns
Century 3.0 into a vicious attacker also, similar in style (I think) to Gambit
Tiger.  The following game is an example of STORM's style:

Round: 3
Date: 26/10/2000
White: STORM
Black: Gambit Tiger 1.0
Opening: B81 Sicilian: Scheveningen, Keres Attack

1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 d6 6. g4 Nc6 7. g5 Nd7 8. Be3
Be7 9. h4 O-O 10. Qd2 a6 11. O-O-O Nxd4 12. Bxd4 b5 13. a3 Bb7 14. f4 Qa5 15.
Kb1 Bd8 16. h5 Nc5 17. h6 g6 18. Bg2 Qc7 19. Bg7 Re8 20. f5 Rc8 21. fxg6 fxg6
22. Rhf1 Qe7 23. Qe3 Nd7 24. Qf4 Ba5 25. b4 Bc7 26. Qf2 Bb6 27. Qg3 Ne5 28. Bh3
Nc4 29. Rf6 Nxa3+ 30. Ka2 Nxc2 31. Bxe6+ Qxe6+ 32. Rxe6 Rxe6 33. Rf1 Ne3 34. Qh3
Nf5 35. exf5 Re3 36. Qg4 Rcxc3 37. fxg6 Rc2+ 38. Kb1 Rf2 39. gxh7+ Kxh7 40. g6+
Kg8 41. Rxf2 Re1+ 42. Kc2 Bxf2 43. Bf6 Be4+ 44. Qxe4 Rc1+ 45. Kxc1 Be3+ 46. Qxe3
Kf8 47. Qe7+ Kg8 48. h7#

To be sure, STORM can also show it is quite capable of over-reaching in a
position and ending up on the losing side.  That doesn't make it any less
exciting however.

Rebel 11 looks to be an amazing collection of chess software.
