Yes, it's David vs Goliath... and in the long run Chessmaster should
win for sure. For the sake of variation I played two more games between
the two. This time on Chessmasters own homeground - in the CM8 GUI.
PIII 800 64 MB hash, ponder off, 15 min per player and game.
Game 4: Here Terra found itself facing problems as white in a Sicilian
Najdorf. Scores jumped from -0.27 at move 26, to -2.50 at move 28.
Game over for Terra after a few more moves.
Game 5: Chessmaster had big trouble in finding compensation for a pawn sac
in the opening. Terra won it convincingly.
So after a statistically valid ;-) number of 5 games it's 3-2 for Terra
vs the feared CM Nextas. Hm...Terra is facing the interesting Delfi right
now in the Ridderkerk tournament. It's 1-1 and two more games to go.
The first match was great for Terra with a win 3.5-0.5 vs Cilian.
Here games 4 and 5.
