Results games round 56:
- Shredder6 vs Fritz7002 = 1-0
- Junior7 vs TheKing312X = 1/2
- Hiarcs732 vs ChessTiger14 = 1-0
It would not be correct to say that Shredder6 won the rook ending. More precise
is: Fritz7002 lost the rook ending. And it is perhaps only Frans Morsch who can
explain why his program abstained from playing either 32...dxc3 or 36...dxc3
instead of giving up a pawn.
The centre was the main scene of action in this game. After exchanging the most
pieces, Junior7 and TheKing312X tried her best to win an equal rook ending.
Despite the fact that White was a pawn up, Junior7 could not reach more than a
draw.
ChessTiger14 with Black sacrificed a pawn but got sufficient compensation. In
the further course of the game, White's dark couloured bishop became so strong
that Black was forced to exchange it for a rook. And this small material
advantage was good enough for Hiarcs732 to win this game.
