Hi,
last game from round 1, group 3 is Fidelity Mini Sensory Chess Challenger with CAC module (Challenger Advanced Chess) vs Novag Chess Champion Super System III.
In the first game, the Novag is far from brilliant, with a very early offer for a fork the little Fidelity device failed to play. The game is then rather balanced (with some edge for the Mini Sensory, though) until an obvious positional blunder from the SSIII, moving its threatened King outside any safety. The Mini Sensory fails to spot a mate in 2 but remains easily winning; unfortunately no code inside prevents repetition and it messes up the full point for a draw.
The second game is not high quality, each device going back and forth according to several mistakes or missed opportunities. In the end a SSIII passed Pawn prevailed; it could have been blocked but the calculation was too much for the puny Mini Sensory.
Therefore, the SSIII scores 1.5 points vs the Mini Sensory 0.5.
