This is not an attack on the King Engine, by Johan de Koning or Chessmaster, just an interesting bit on how to stymie a _strong_ tactical programme. This was a rated game at 5/0, on a P-III 500, personality Chessmaster. Rating 2837 Chessmaster gave up to pawns and regained one back. It lost on time. I had 57 sec. remaining. Chessmaster 8000 wasn't patched, and don't know if this would have made a difference on the result.
