As we begin the second half of this historic encounter i think it is interesting to note that as White the R40 has held its own with 1 win 1 draw and 1 loss with black its has lost both games this reminds me of the Ehlvest-Zappa match this past summer where the GM held his own against Zappa with the White pieces but got crushed when playing Black the 6TH game has Res -Fruit 05 with the White pieces and soon is up an isolated Queen pawn,however the R40 plays an accurate defense with the classical Knight blockade of the pawn again the Res-Fruit 05 is out of book early playing the odd looking 6.Bh3,but both Programs do Castle safely,which is a change of pace for this match GAME 6-DRAW Res Fruit WCCC 05-4.0 Tasc R40 v2.5-2.0 it was a long game even though i think the position was a dead draw for many moves i guess each program has an aversion to draws by repetition so you can see pawn pushes to stave off the 50 move rule near the 90th move or so both programs were dangerously short on time so mercifully(for me) the R40 went for the Draw by Repitition [[Date "2005.10.1"] [Round "6"] [White "Res.-FruitWCCC05"] [Black "Tasc R40 V2.5"] [Time Control "GAME 30 MIN"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] 1.c4 e5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Nc3 c6 4.d4 exd4 5.Qxd4 d5 6.Bh3 Bxh3 7.Nxh3 Be7 8.O-O O-O 9.Bf4 Na6 10.cxd5 Bc5 11.Qd3 cxd5 12.Bg5 Nb4 13.Qf3 Be7 14.Rfd1 Qd7 15.Nf4 d4 16.e3 Nc6 17.exd4 h6 18.Bxf6 Bxf6 19.Nfd5 Be7 20.Rac1 Rad8 21.Nxe7+ Nxe7 22.d5 Rfe8 23.Qf4 b6 24.Rd4 Nf5 25.Rc4 Nd6 [D] 3rr1k1/p2q1pp1/1p1n3p/3P4/2R2Q2/2N3P1/PP3P1P/2R3K1 w - - 0 26 here the R40 sets up the classical blockade against the isolated D pawn for the next few moves the R40 shuffles the Q along the D-E files then decides to take matters into its own hands 26.Rc6 Qe7 27.a3 Qd7 28.f3 Qe7 29.Kg2 Nb5 30.Nxb5 Qe2+ 31.Kh1 Qxb5 32.d6 Qxb2 33.Rc7 Re2 34.g4 Rd2 35.Re1 R8xd6 36.Qxf7+ Kh7 37.Qf5+ Rg6 38.Qf4 Rf2 39.Rxa7 Rxg4 40.Rxg7+ Rxg7 41.Qf5+ Rg6 42.Re7+ Qg7 43.Rxg7+ Kxg7 44.Qd7+ Kg8 45.Qd1 Rgg2 [D] 6k1/8/1p5p/8/8/P4P2/5rrP/3Q3K w - - 0 46 here i think the game is drawn but it goes on for another 45 moves.. sigh.. 46.Qd8+ Kh7 47.Qd7+ Kg6 48.Qe6+ Kg7 49.Qe5+ Kh7 50.h4 Rg6 51.Qe4 h5 52.Qd5 Rf1+ 53.Kh2 Rf2+54.Kh3 Rf1 55.Qxh5+ Kg7 56.Qe5+ Kh7 57.Qe7+ Kg8 58.Qd8+ Kh7 59.Qd7+ Kh6 60.Qd2+ Kh7 61.Kh2 Rxf3 62.a4 Rgf6 63.Kg2 R3f4 64.Kg3 Rf3+ 65.Kg4 Rf2 66.Qd5 Rg6+ 67.Kh3 Kh6 68.Qa8 Rgf6 69.Qh8+ Kg6 70.Qe8+ Kh6 71.Qe3+ Kg7 72.Kg3 R2f5 73.Kg4 Rc5 74.Qe7+ Rf7 75.Qe4 Rfc7 76.Qe6 Rc4+ 77.Kg3 R7c6 78.Qe7+ Kh6 79.Qg5+ Kh7 80.Qh5+ Kg7 81.Qe5+ Kh7 82.Qf5+ Kg7 83.Qd7+ Kh6 84.Qd2+ Kg7 85.h5 Rc3+ 86.Kf4 R6c4+ 87.Kf5 Rc5+ 88.Ke6 Rc6+ 89.Ke7 Rc7+ 90.Kd6 R7c6+ 91.Kd7 Rc7+ 92.Kd6 R7c6+ 93.Kd7 Rc7+ 94.Kd6 1/2-1/2 FINAL POSITION [D] 8/2r3k1/1p1K4/7P/P7/2r5/3Q4/8 b - - 0 94 Match Continues Regards Steve
