The beginning of the match Gambit Tiger 2.0 against Junior 7 on Athlon 1200MHz
at the SSDF has been the easiest of all beginning of matches that Gambit Tiger
has ever had.
I think at one point it was something like 5-1 (from memory).
Did you learn anything from these losses? I hope you did.
BTW it is still 6.5-3.5 in favor of Gambit Tiger, maybe that tells you a little
bit why I compare a single game to coin tossing. My best wishes to Junior for
the rest of the match...
Thanks for pointing out the Junior-Tiger game in the WMCCC. I will have a closer
look at it. Usually I don't look very closely at these losses, for reasons I
have explained elsewhere and which are related to my way of working, not to the
subjective interest I have in the games, and it's naturally not contempt either.
But as you tell me there is something to learn, I believe you and I think this
game deserves a longer analysis.
