Junior 9.0.0.3 - Yace 0.99.87, Blitz:60'+10"
[D]1n3nk1/2r2pp1/1p2p2p/rq1pP2P/p1pP4/R1P1BN2/1P1Q1PP1/5RK1 w - - 0 1
Here Junior 9 played 24.Bxh6! and went on to win in *the* typical way humans
used to do the computers in the past. Please note Junior's eval here : 0.27! -
and how nicely and easily it continues.
I wonder if there are other engines who can play this attack, first the sac,
then the slow and overwhelming build-up - it's possible, I haven't checked many
others yet. The move is even kind of forced because statically black is doing
extremely well here, even if it wouldn't work out.
One of the most impressive computer games I have seen so far.
Junior played on my Athlon64 3200+(2.,0GHz) notebook, 256MB Hash
Yace played on PIV 3.2GHz HT, 512 MB Hash
Time control was game in 1 hour with 10 seconds increment/move
This was round 18 of a little match
First 6 games Junior had the black pieces and scored an Ok-ish +2/=3/-1
Next 12 games Junior had white and won all games played so far !.
