Go up one level in this thread


I tried to replicate some exciting games of gambit tiger 1 and 2 from
www.rebel.nl using chess tiger 15 gambit aggressive style.  I wanted to find out
if the newest tiger version still has that "berzerk" style which made it so
famous in the first place.

For example: (taken from rebel site)

White  Sune Larsson
Black  Gambit Tiger 1.0
Level  30'

1. d4 Nf6  2.Nf3 d5  3.c4 c6  4.Nc3 e6  5.e3 Nbd7  6.Qc2 Bd6  7.a3

In most games I like to play my own game without relying on "theorie"
and stuff. Might as well...since the opening repertoire is very rusty,
mildly spoken. Heavy influenced by Fischer, I have opened all my
previous tournament games with 1.e4...

7.-dxc4  8.Bxc4 Qc7  9.0-0 e5  10.h3

No surprises wanted on h2, also keeping an eye on g4. Black's push in
the center with e5 is the correct way to go.

10.-0-0  11.b4 exd4  12.Nxd4 a5  13.b5 Nb6  14.Bd3 c5  15.Nf5 c4
16.Be2 Bh2+ 17.Kh1 Qc5  18.Nd4 Bb8

After an interesting manoeuvre, black is now looking for the kill on
the long diagonals.

19.Bb2

19...g5!!??

This is an extraordinary computermove! A clear cut bayonet attack. Black
has a lot of activity and two dangerous bishops sweeping down towards
the white king. The black Queen is ready to take action on the kingside,
the push g4 is in the air. Mildly spoken, I began to feel very
uncomfortable.

Pressure and activity yes, but not from me. I tried this position (after
19.Bb2) with 3 different top programs.

Program A  played  19.-a4
Program B  played  19.-Rd8
Program C  played  19.-Bd7

And Gambit Tiger played out the bayonet attack with 19.-g5!?  This move
was not considered among the first 5 choices by the other 3 top programs.

Very interesting.



Gambit tiger 15 aggressive does not find ...g5 that fast anymore, compared to
the earlier versions.  Maybe the newest tiger is tamer??
