Well the Match Of The Century concludes with the R40 as Black essaying forth my own personal favorite defense as Black ..the Petroff the Tasc leaves book first at move 6 and for the first time in the match both sides Castle Queen side RES-FRUIT WCCC 05-WINS [Date "2005.10.4"] [Round "10"] [White "RES-FRUIT WCCC 05"] [Black "TASC R40 V2.5"] [TimeControl "GAME 30 MIN"] [Result "1-0"] 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.Qe2 Qe7 6.Nc3 Nxc3 7.dxc3 Nc6 8.Bf4 Be6 9.O-O-O O-O-O 10.Qe3 Re8 11.Bb5 Bxa2 12.Bxc6 bxc6 13.Qxa7 Bd5 [D] 2k1rb1r/Q1p1qppp/2pp4/3b4/5B2/2P2N2/1PP2PPP/2KR3R w - - 0 14 14.Rxd5 ! I think the exchange sacrifice here is quite spectacular because there are no immediate mating threats or even material gain indeed the game goes on for another 13 moves until the R40 thinks its losing 14..cxd5 15.Re1 Qxe1+ 16.Nxe1 Rxe1+ 17.Kd2 Re4 18.Qa8+ Kd7 19.g3 Re6 20.Qxd5 [D] 5b1r/2pk1ppp/3pr3/3Q4/5B2/2P3P1/1PPK1P1P/8 b - - 0 20 the Material is now even but the Res-Fruit has a PV here of close to +3 and the R40 -.26 not until the Res sacs the C pawn at move 27 does the Tasc realize its game is in shambles g6 21.Qb5+ Kd8 22.c4 Kc8 23.Qa6+ Kd7 24.Qa4+ Kc8 25.Qa7 Kd7 26.c5 f6 27.c6+ Kxc6 28.Qa4+ Kc5 29.c4 Kb6 30.Qb5+ Ka7 31.c5 dxc5 32.Qa5+ Kb7 33.Qxc7+ Ka6 34.Qc8+ Kb5 35.Qxe6 c4 36.Be3 Bc5 37.Qd5 Rc8 38.Qb7+ Ka5 39.Qxc8 Bxe3+ 40.fxe3 1-0 FINAL POSITION [D] 2Q5/7p/5pp1/k7/2p5/4P1P1/1P1K3P/8 b - - 0 40 both had ample time on the clock and the R40 was returning a PV of -13.45 so i decided to resign for it FINAL MATCH SCORE Res Fruit WCCC 05-7.5 Tasc R40 v2.5-2.5 what no dedicated chess computer could do for 10 years(including the Res-Ruffian) ..Res-Fruit 05 does Ruud Martin the inventor of the Resurrection and Fabien Letouzey are to be highly congratulated for dethroning the KING of the dedicated chess computer world now sadly i will retire the R40 into my highly secured ,underground storage vaults..with this last game forever retained in its CMOS memory The End Of The Match And The End Of An Era Regards Steve
