Hi, good evening,
round 1 is now completed with the fourth match, Fidelity Sensory Chess Challenger 6 vs Lexibook Chesslight. The level I use for the Chesslight is C8, this stands for 10 to 15 secs with aggressive style. The reason why is I wanted to clearly differentiate its play from the Yeno 320XT one, as both are using the same Kaare Danielsen 4K program.
The first game is dominated by the Chesslight playing as Black, but the second game could have been won by the Sensory 6 that failed to convert a domination period into a win; and the Chesslight is happy with a 3-times repetition.
