Subject: Mchess and interesting sacrifice(s)

I run whole 20 games Nunn test between Rebel 9 and Mchess 7. PC was P90
and
time 30 s move. Result: 10 - 10 so programs seems to be quite equal in
pure
engine strength. But Mchess's playing style seems to be very
interesting.
In no less than 6 of 20 games (30%) it made positional sacrifice! About
these
games 1 was win, 1 loss and rest 4 draws e.g. net effect was +-0, but
sure
games were interesting. In very first game:

[Event "Nunntest"]
[Site "Finland"]
[Date "1998.03.23"]
[Round "1."]
[White "Rebel 9"]
[Black "Mchess 7"]
[Result "0-1"]
