MChess very much felt like the human master to me here.

Sorry - this is a bit hard to explain . When you watch games for 4 hours you
reach some conclusions, even when you are too lazy to do a proper report. MChess
showed some very cute understanding of material imbalances here.

Also it hurts if you can't post the evals as they don't get stored by either
prog.

I wonder if I should stop to report about these kind of matches, as I feel
conclusions are hard to follow, unless I do very hard work with reports,
something I am not really ready to do most of the time.

I thought the PGNs might still be interesting, but then I am usually too lazy to
look at the PGN of others too, so maybe it is just a waste of space.
