Looks like poor CM for Gameboy can hardly play at all. In Game 5, the commentary
says "CM's endgame play was tragically poor and CG's endgame was good enough to
earn a draw." But it isn't that at all. This arrives after CG just played
43...hxg4:
[D]8/8/8/1pk5/5pp1/PP3K2/6P1/8 w - -
And here CM plays... 44.Ke2??????? I meann, what the heck. This isn't about
poor technique, this is randomly choosing legal moves at best.
