Against Little Goliath the result was very good: Aristarch is very strong in tactics and knows how to attack the opponent's king. Also the endgame skills are good and sometimes it even sacrifices a pawn to push a passed pawn supported by a rook behind it. Also against LambChop the score was positive, but LambChop was a tough opponent and here some weaknesses of Aristarch appeared: sometimes it simply neglected a sound developpement of its pieces to good squares. Instead it prematurely tried to attack (for example many useless moves with its queen while LambChop took control of the centre) and then it often lost quickly. This often happened if Aristarch had black or was out of book early. Also it sometimes miss to castle and to connect the rooks early enough. Sorry I haven't saved the games... I played just for fun. Anyway Aristarch has an interesting, active playing style. Congrats to your strong engine!
