Good morning to all,
next match is rather balanced, with theoretical 38/62 odds, between the Yeno 301XL and the Lexibook Chesslight.
Indeed each device wins "its" game playing as White, therefore a fair division of points, one each. The 301XL is nevertheless dominated during the first half game as White, but fortunately for the Yeno, the Chesslight blunders on move #42.
The second game is sort of a condensed, accelerated, similar scenario: despite playing White, the Chesslight is slightly dominated until move #20 but leverages a mistake from the Yeno to reverse steam.
