Let's see if it will play that dumb against me. It's from a new tourney where I
participate. I wanted to start a mixed human-comp tourney, however I have no
training and therefore I'm a very weak player. Let's see how far up the
raatinglist I can go :-/
At least the first game I won (again thanks to a blunder by an engine):
