After two long evenings, the game finally ended in a draw.
Both showed even scores during the middlegame; towards the endgame,
both saw themselves about +0,5 up, then Nimzo had an advantage of up to +2,
but finally both realized that RP vs. BBP is usually not winnable.
Interesting observation: even when it didn't predict Shredder's move correctly
(i.e. if he could not use its PB info), Nimzo sometimes moved astonishingly
fast, several moves were played under 2 minutes.
Tiger 11.9 vs. Junior will be delayed as Christophe hasn't yet sent his newest
version.
Today's game will be CM 6000 vs. Nimzo, first game of the second round.
The thriller of Round 2 will be Fritz vs. Hiarcs (next Tuesday if the schedule
runs on time).
