Subject: Wild game I thought I'd share (CM9000 v Arasan)

Author: John Merlino

Just a wild and exciting blitz game (5/3) that was played on ICC between
Chessmaster 9000 (default personality with 32MB hash on a P3-733) and Arasan on
an Athlon 1.3 (80MB hash). There were FOUR promotions, including an
underpromotion to a knight by CM9000 (the only legal move!!), and an exchange
sacrifice by Arasan!
CM9000 was playing without an opening book or endgame databases.

I would expect that, given the slow hardware and fast time control, there are
quite a few less-than-optimal moves. But it was definitely a fun game to watch.

Enjoy!
