Here another 30' blitz game between CS Tal II and Gambit Tiger 1.0.
I never managed to let CSTal II play a gambit against me, but here it feels it
has a gambit opponent so it goes for the loot. It chooses a very daring variant
with 4. ...e5 which ends catastrophically.
Until 11. 0-0 it follows Morphy - Anderssen (1858)
They did know a LOT more about chess than I do 142 years later, but I get the
spooky feeling that the position isn't right for black, and retaking the pawn at
8...Qxc3 leaves me with an uneasy feeling with those two bishops and that queen
out, yet all my chess engines tell the position is almost equal. I don't know,
but I'm not much into theory.
CST performs a bad shuffle with its king and at move 20 it glitches awfully.
Remember, this is only a 30 minutes blitz game. FYI, machine PIII@840MHz, 512Mb
RAM, GT 48Mb hash, CSTal auto hash. JFF=just for fun.
