In this the 9th game and in his last game as White, the R40 gives a nice demonstration of a "Knights Tour" that even George Koltanoswki would be proud of .. the only problem is that the Knight would have been better placed in the heat of battle defending the King side rather then off on a pawn grabbing expedition at the far corner of the board both programs left book on move 11 and again we see Castling for both sides GAME 8-Res Fruit 05 WINS Res Fruit WCCC 05-6.5 Tasc R40 v2.5-2.5 [Date "2005.10.2"] [Round "9"] [White "Tasc R40 V2.5"] [Black "RES-FRUIT WCCC 05"] [Time Control "GAME 30MIN."] [Result 0-1] 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Bg5 Be7 5.Nc3 O-O 6.e3 h6 7.Bh4 b6 8.Bd3 Bb7 9.Bxf6 Bxf6 10.cxd5 exd5 11.O-O c5 12.Rc1 cxd4 13.exd4 Nc6 14.Bc2 Re8 15.Qd3 g6 16.Bb3 Na5 17.Ba4 Re7 18.Rfe1 Nc4 19.b3 Rxe1+ 20.Rxe1 Nd6 21.Ne5 Rc8 22.Bd7 Rc7 23.Bg4 Ne4 24.Nb5 Ba6 25.Be2 Bxe5 26.dxe5 Rc5 27.a4 Qg5 28.Qd1 Qf4 29.Qd4 Rc2 30.g3 Qd2 31.Qxd2 Rxd2 32.Bf3 Nxf2 33.Nc7 [D] 6k1/p1N2p2/bp4pp/3pP3/P7/1P3BP1/3r1n1P/4R1K1 b - - 0 33 the Beginning of the Knight Tour and the Beginning of the end of an Era.. 33..Nh3+ 34.Kh1 Bb7 35.e6 Nf2+ 36.Kg1 fxe6 37.Nxe6 Nh3+ 38.Kh1 Bc8 39.Nc7 [D] 2b3k1/p1N5/1p4pp/3p4/P7/1P3BPn/3r3P/4R2K b - - 0 39 I can see George know..smiling in heaven..the only problem is..there is a game going on here!! 39..
