Hi all of you, finally I can return to playing tournament testgames (on two 200MMX machinces with 64Mb each). Although Junior's first game against Fritz5 became a draw, it was a long positional and tactical struggle. In this Meran variation of the Semi-Slav black has the pair of bishops and considerable pressure on the white queenside, while having to handle pawn weaknesses around its king with active play, thus preventing a direct white attack against the black king. Nvertheless white has to try to exploit the black weaknesses, while defending the queenside as long as possible not to suffer from a bad endgame. The black variation is 9... c5 is a typical choice by GM Sveshnikov, who has been using it successfully since 1977 and scored only wins and draws while using it for black. Both programs managed to balance attack and defence jobs very well, and white was gaining some positional advantage during the middlegame. But after the black 35....Rxg3 (a move both programs "understood") Junior5 got king weaknesses itself and was not able to gain a decisive advantage in the end.
