Subject: Shep Championship: first 3 games (PGN included)

Author: Shep

Date: 00:20:32 06/21/99


Hi all,

here are the first 3 games from the Shep Championship 1999 (40/120 on two
PIII-550, 256 MB).

First game showed Fritz' great tactical capabilities by playing 17.dxc5!, giving
a Bishop for three pawns and a queenside majority. CM 6000 missed this tactical
shot.

Game 2 was an easy win for Hiarcs over LGG2, despite the latter hitting up to
1.2 million nps.

Game 3 was another typical Tiger win over Rebel: unspectacular, but effective
moves. When Rebel still believed everything was under control, Tiger had already
taken the initiative.

TOday's game will be Chessmaster 5555 vs. Chess System Tal 2.50.
