I was basing my judgement on a previous game that I played versus a weaker
version of Baron 1.0.3 11 months ago, but Richard already made several
improvements, and the Hardware will be at least a Dual 2.8 GHz :-)

I consider myself a patzer rated around 1800, but I have NOT ever played a
single FRC game against any FRC Program. I have read 8 books of chess in the
last 24 months which probably has increased my rating by 200 points, but
FRC_Baron 103 should be rated higher than 2000 on an Athlon 1200 GHz.

[Event "Computer Schach Partie"]
[Site "My Home"]
[Date "2003.07.20"]
[Round "1"]
[White "Jorge Pichard"]
[Black "FRC_Baron103 Athlon 1.2 GHz"]
[Result "1-0"]

Kb8 23.Ra3 Qf4 24.Rb3+ Nb6 25.Rxb6+ axb6 {Black resigns} 1-0

This was the final Position in which FRC_Baron Resigned.
[D]rk3r2/7p/1pQ2np1/8/P4q2/2P3N1/1P3PP1/1K1R4 b - -

I was planning to make these forceful moves if FRC_Baron decided to continue:
26.Qxb6+ Kc8 27.Qc6+ Kb8 28.Rd4! Qc7 29.Rb4+ Kc8 30.Qxa8+ Qxf8 winning by a rook
and three pawns!
