LATER:
in the moment it is 92th move. Crafty has played 91...Kf4 and suddenly
juniors score increased into +2.85. Sometimes computer-endgames are
very funny to watch. Before this score-jump it was always draw scores.
Both programs had access to their endgame-databases. Junior wanted the
fritz.cd in. Crafty had the tablesbases...So they found that it was a
draw.
The rest of the game was played accurate because it came out of the
tablebase/endgame-databases.
So this game ended in a draw.

Another nice thing happened in the game between genius5 and cstal
win95.
The game was a complete shocking mess. It was 2 blinds running in the
desert. Genius5 did not know about the endgame, and also cstal win95
had problems in the endgame. But cstal knew ONE main thing that helped
it to win: 2 connected passed pawns are strong like hell.
Look yourself, it is a very amazing game:

Can you imagine how i felt during the game. Live in the game chris
whittington watched it giving me a call on the telephone. He was also
shocked by the turn-arrounds and was heavily disapointed watching his
own program do the endgame. Up and down, up and down. Sometimes
watching a game of chess looks like installing a cd-rom-writer under
windows98: plug and pray ! And be angry about Bill Gates and his shit
operating system. Here it was the same: we saw to blinds fighting
without knowing about the position.
These 2 games costed much time and sweat to me. And they made me very
very tired.
In the end the standing is the following:
1. JUNIOR5 BETA JUN.CTG, (5) - (22) CRAFTY 15.18, ½:½
2. GENIUS5, (8) - (6) CSTAL WIN95, 0:1
3. CHESS TIGER 11.2, (13) - (14) NIMZO98 PADERBORN,
4. ZARKOV 4.2C, (23) - (2) HIARCS6,
5. REBEL 9, (3) - (21) COMET A95,
6. MCHESS 7.1, (1) - (12) CHESS TIGER 11.5,
7. CHESSMASTER 5000, (7) - (11) PHALANX,
8. EUGEN 7.5, (15) - (9) VIRTUAL2,
9. WCHESS 1.04, (18) - (24) SOCRATES X,
10. CHESSMASTER 5555, (17) - (16) DIAMOND 2,
11. DIOGENES 4.70B, (19) - (4) FRITZ 5.16 POWER.CTG,
12. DIEP 1.58.13, (10) - (20) CAISSA98 5.14,
So cstal win95 fought back the leading position from junior...
