My best game vs Crafty
-----------------------
I use Crafty along with a number of Winboard engines for training games at
different time rate.
I lost most games to Crafty but there were some successive games for me and
the best one is as follows.
[Event "Rated game"]
[Site "PI 133MHz 32MB"]
[Date "2002.05.11"]
[Round "-"]
[White "Gorelikov, Igor"]
[Black "Crafty-18.13"]
[Result "1-0"]
[Annotator "CM Igor Gorelikov"]
[TimeControl "4800+3"]
1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5 4.d4 Nf6 5.Bd2 c6 6.h3
{Offering the poisoned pawn "b2".}
6...Qb6 7.Nf3 Qxb2 8.Bc4 Qb6 9.O-O e6 10.Re1 Bd6
{Be7 is better.}
11.Ne4 Nxe4 12.Rxe4 O-O 13.Ng5 h6 14.Qh5!
{I think, it would be a suprise for any chess engine.}
14...Qb2 15.Rc1 Bb4 16.Be3 hxg5 17.Bxg5
{White has a winning position for a knight.}
17...Qc3?
{That looses at once.}
( {The best move is} 17...f6 18.Bh6!
( 18.Qg6 {is not bad, too.} )
18...b5 19.Bb3 Bd7 20.Rxe6 Qxb3 21.Qg4 Rf7 22.cxb3 Bxe6 23.Qxe6 gxh6 24.d5
{with a winning position +-.} )
18.Bf6!
{And mate in several moves.}
18...Qf3 19.gxf3 Bd2 20.Rg4 Bg5 21.Rxg5 Re8 22.Rxg7+ Kf8
{Black resigns}
1-0
The Crafty and Winboard logs are available.
