I tried the game on my bot - and was depressed :-) For starters , it _wants_ to play Bb7 and you have a '?' on that move ! In reply to Bb7 , it wants to play Bc3 (0.11 eval in whites favour) - so wrong move ... When I forced Neg5! , eval was 0.96 in blacks favour :-( 13 93 6750 19805778 h7h6 g5e6 f7e6 f1h3 b7c8 c2g6 e8f8 e1g1 e7d6 a1e1 d8e7 f3h4 f8g8 h4f5 On a more general note - personally , I do not believe computers are anywhere near the level of a GM when it comes to positional play. When that does happen , we will see computer tourny's with no book being used (other than maybe not to lose time ...) Thanks for the game. Regards, Mridul
