The machine now made a queen move with the display "Time Control: I lose." This is the only example of any of my machines going down in this way. The Academy starts the game at move zero. It displays the number of moves COMPLETED by white. I wonder if it would ever lose with the black pieces? >CM9_R1 on an AMD 2500 says Re1: > >Time Depth Score Positions Moves >0:00 1/3 0.53 1586 40.Rf4 Bxf5 41.Rxf5 Qxf5 42.Bxf5 > Rxe3 >0:00 1/4 0.77 3262 40.Rf4 Qb2+ 41.Kh3 Qa1 42.Kh4 Qd1 >0:00 1/5 0.75 18284 40.Rf4 Qb2+ 41.Kh3 Qa1 42.c7 Qxa4 > 43.Bc2 >0:00 1/5 0.92 41667 40.Re1 h4 41.Qf4 Qa5 42.Rc1 hxg3+ > 43.Kxg3 Qxa4 >0:01 1/6 0.76 63680 40.Re1 h4 41.Qf4 Qb2+ 42.Kh3 Qb4 > 43.Re3 hxg3 44.Kxg3 Qxa4 >0:02 1/7 0.58 150670 40.Re1 h4 41.Kg2 hxg3 42.Qxg3 Qd4 > 43.Qf4 Qxa4 >0:03 1/7 0.64 190398 40.Rf4 Qb2+ 41.Kh3 Qa1 42.Qd3 g5 > 43.Rf1 Qxa4 >0:04 1/8 0.22 302885 40.Rf4 Qb2+ 41.Kh3 g6 42.Qd3 g5 > 43.Rf1 Qb4 44.Bd5 Qxa4 >0:06 1/9 0.48 905284 40.Rf4 Qb2+ 41.Kh3 Qa1 42.c7 Qe5 > 43.Kh2 Qxc7 44.f6 g6 >0:08 1/9 0.60 1345816 40.Re1 h4 41.Qf2 Kf8 42.Qf4 Qa5 > 43.Rd1 Qxa4 44.Qd6+ Kg8 >0:14 1/10 0.57 2801617 40.Re1 h4 41.Qf2 Kf8 42.Kg2 hxg3 > 43.Qxg3 Qd4 44.Qa3+ Kg8 45.Qf3 > Qxa4 46.c7 >0:35 1/11 0.70 8208696 40.Re1 h4 41.Qf4 Qc3 42.Rd1 hxg3+ > 43.Qxg3 Qb4 44.Bg2 Bxf5 45.Rd5 Be4 >1:19 1/12 0.63 19382867 40.Re1 h4 41.Qf2 Kf8 42.Qf4 Qb2+ > 43.Kh3 hxg3 44.Kxg3 Qa3+ 45.Re3 > Qxa4 46.Qd6+ Kg8 47.Kf4 Qc4 >3:19 2/13 0.54 50807953 40.Re1 h4 41.Qf4 Qc3 42.Re2 hxg3+ > 43.Qxg3 Qd4 44.Qd3 Qxa4 45.f6 g6 > 46.c7 Qa5 47.Rc2 >10:35 3/14 0.65 165286772 40.Re1 h4 41.Qf4 Qc3 42.Re2 hxg3+ > 43.Kg2 Qc4 44.Re3 Qc1 45.f6 g6 > 46.c7 Re6 47.Kxg3 Qg1+ 48.Kh4 Rxf6 >37:22 4/15 0.68 593725321 40.Re1 h4 41.Kg2 Qd6 42.Qf3 hxg3 > 43.Qxg3 Qd2+ 44.Qf2 Qg5+ 45.Kh1 > Qg4 46.Bd5 Rxe1+ 47.Qxe1 Bxf5 48.Qe8+ > Kh7 49.Qe5 Kg6 50.c7 f6 51.Qh2 Qxa4 > >jm
