Thanks for the games. After playing over some of the games I noticed many very nice moves. This one by Hiarcs was one: 3rnrk1/1b2bp1p/pqn1p1p1/1p2B1N1/3P1Q2/P1N5/1P2BPPP/R2R2K1 w - - id "Hiarcs 6 K6-233 - Rebel 8 K6-233"; bm "g5h7"; One really strange move came from the following: 1R6/1P4k1/6p1/3K1p1p/5P2/5P1P/1r6/8 w - - id "Chess System Tal Cy - The King 2.55 K6-20"; CSTal played R-g8+ which of course is suicide. Is this an operator error (perhaps due to the beer) or a bug? In this game there is a neat trick that can win in such positions. The side with the passed pawn should advance the pawn to the 6th rank, leaving the square in front of the pawn open for the king. Chess programs always seem to advance the passer to the 7th rank and the king is unable to safely advance.
