This christmas my family and I went to see visit my mother. Well after lots of fun and a good bit of vodka I found myself, ( being the chess addict that I am) looking through some of my old things that my mother had kept of mine, looking for mabe an old chess book or a set perhaps. Well to my delight I found something even better. I found an old Dos program called GrandMaster Chess and It was still in the original box. I immediately began installing it on my mom's old pc a 100mhz k-5 w/ 16 mb ram I think, well after getting it up and running (the poor thing crashed three times, sorry John ), I played my first complete 5 min game. ahhhh I thought, as I finished the game. Not only did I defy the odds and get to play a game but I actually won, all on chistmas day. I haven't felt this good in a long time I thought, I have found nivana in old chess programs, yes shameless but true. I have been bitten by a tiger, teased by junior, out smarted by crafty and revolted against by rebels. It feels good not to be on the recieving end of a beating once and awhile. After I drove home I added the game to my database while having tiger look at it and found that tiger 12 may at blitz have suffered the same fate. It would have played alot of the same moves as GM!! and it did not see all of the dangers in my Nf6! move untill it reached 11 ply. Even though I have a 466 cel 96mb ram. Wow What's this I thought ?! Here is the game. Is this a tough postion for programs or is GM chess just a C player? 1 FRENCH def. CLASSICAL var. Eriq 2200 - GM chess (Mom's Christmas Classic) 12/2000 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3.
