Hello, good afternoon all,
the Lexibook Chesslight somehow shares the unfortunate fate of the Sensory 6: as it earned 1.5 points in the first round, it has now the "privilege" to meet the seeded player, Fidelity Designer Mach III Master 2265.
What did you expect? Two points granted to the Mach III, of course.
In the first game, the Lexibook as White could not resist longer than move #6 before starting loosing ground. The second game was even shorter, even if the position was still approximately balanced until move #10.
