Subject: Arasan-Postmodernist match

I ran a 40 move/40 minute match between Postmodernist 1.010a and Arasan 7.4.
Hardware was an XP2500+, 64 MB Hash for Arasan, 44MB for PM. Arasan lost this
match, +3, -10, =7. Games are available at

I haven't analyzed the games in detail. My general impression was that PM gained
greater mobility in several games and was able to win "positionally". For
example, in game 4, PM got doubled rooks and had the better position for most of
the game, but really won in the endgame where it was able to out-manouver Arasan
and win material.

Game 18 looks like an opening book problem (18 .. Ne8 is the standard move, but
isn't in Arasan's small book).
