I do not agree with the last claim that Genius was somewhat unlucky. I understood that Genius could score better in the game that it lost with more time but I guess that movei also could score better in the games that it lost with more time. Saying that Genius was unlucky means that you believe that the expected result of Genius should be more than 6.5-1.5 if you repeat the match. Genius was of course better but I do not think that the expected result of Genius2 is more than 6.5-1.5 in 8 games even against that old version of movei. 6.5-1.5 is more than 80% and I remember that Yace scored only 80% against older weaker version of movei in your tests(the first version that beated gnu chess). > >I decided to do a rematch out of curiosity at 120 0. > >Movei was updated to the latest public version and given 64 MB Hash this time. > >Of course it is not really news at all that this might improve movei's chances >considerably. > >After 4 games it turns out to be a pretty interesting setup .

Yes I suspect that movei missed a win somewhere but I could not find it in a short analysis. Maybe capturing with the bishop at f6 could be better because of the idea Rh8# but I did not see how to use that idea to win the game. Uri
