Subject: mclane's summer tournament: in between results: Crafty leads !!

We have a new in-between leader !!

Crafty killed Mchess7.1 in a nice game beginning with better play in opening
until the end and could only be overtaken by the winner of
the last match in the 3rd round, zarkov or chess tiger 11.5, playing in the
moment i post this.

Zarkov played 1.d4 d5 and 2.e4 !  Tiger was out of book !!
Do we see a Blackmar-Diemer-Gambit opening ? I felt like it would be my
birthday.
BDG is my favorite opening and the strong programs play the opening !!

it happened 2...dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3 exf3 5.Nxf3 {of course Zarkov is still
in book - i have no idea for how long ! But this is very interesting. Zarkov
has succesfully played a nice kings-gambit game before in round #1 against
socrates... so i am really interested how tiger will defend against the king of
the gambit-openings... :-))

Whaaaaaat !?!? Tiger plays 5...a6 ! This looks like a new move for me ?!?
What is this ?!?
Unbelievable !! It seems to be my birthday, or emil-josef-diemers birthday ?!

Of course zarkov is out of book (like myself, if i would be white...) and
plays 6.Bf4 e6

Thanks John for giving Zarkov this nice opening... :-))
