Here is the game > Hello, Odell. Congratulations for the fine game! Thanks for sharing it with us. Some days ago I scored a nice win against Crafty 16.13 engine, in an attacking game, after a surprising exchange sacrifice (at least, Crafty seemed "surprised"!). Since the game was blitz 3 +3, the sacrifice was "intuitive" at that moment, but I had it in mind a couple of moves before it was made. I'd like to share this game with you, but it's in cbh format, not in PGN, since it was played and saved under Frits interface. How can I have this game saved in PGN format?. I am no computer chess specialist, but it seems to me that the "horizon effect" keeps stealing a few points from programs! They are oftem overoptimistic in unbalenced positions, don't you think? My feeling is, if you want to draw a strong program, play a no-compromise sound positional game. But, if you want to win, you have to take risks, and strive for unbalanced positions with subtle tactical possibilities. A slow-building king attack is of some help, of course! Best regards, Cládio.
