Hi fellow collectors, A few days ago I reported about the human-computer tournament in the Dutch city of Dieren, 1987. It was organised by Dutch computer chess protagonist Jan Louwman. I already showed you my first win against Mephisto Dallas 68.020. Searching in old computer chess magazines I also found game number 2 against the same machine. No tactical games this time, but a quiet opening in which the computer had no bad position, but then run out of ideas. It started to play waiting moves and to my big surprise the Dallas didn't see the little trick 23.d5! coming. So I was able to beat the World Champ two times! Here is the game: [Event "Dieren 1987"] [Date "2006.02.10"] [Round "6"] [White "Noomen, Jeroen"] [Black "Mephisto Dallas 68020"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "B15"] [PlyCount "53"] 1. d4 c6 2. e4 d5 3.
