Nice game by cyberpagno. Not the way I'd like to start CCT4 but we live and learn. Here are a couple of positions I found interesting from the round 1 game: [D]r5k1/P3pp1p/3p2p1/P7/5P2/8/P4PKP/bN1R4 w - - 1 24 Here monsoon's eval is slamming white for bad pawn structure -- 6 isolated pawns and 5 doubled pawns. The sum of these two terms was approx -2 pawns positional. I've since scaled it back a bit. [D]r7/P6p/RN6/P4p1k/P3pb2/8/6K1/8 b - - 3 37 This is a position after I resigned for monsoon. But it helped me find a bug in the engine -- monsoon uses the control of the square in front of a passer to determine the threat associated with that passer. But when there is more than one passer on a file it was sometimes computing the control of the square in front of the trailing passer! Good luck to all in the coming rounds. Scott
