Hi, good morning all,
Two poor dudes with no more than half a point for total score after two rounds, four games, meet now: TEC Schachcomputer and Scisys Intercontinental Traveler.
In the first game as White, the TEC adds a second half-point to its basket.
Now the odds are in favor of the small Scisys, featuring around 120 CElo points advantage, and playing as White in this second game. Yet, it failed to a fork threat from the TEC, which from then plays a Rook up and dominates till the end. Wraping up the win is a bit painful though, the TEC missed five (5 !) match-balls (mate in 1) before conclusion
.
Nevertheless, a nice achievement from MicroChess, the Peter Jenning's pioneer, and a deceptive run from the Mike Johnson's program
.
