. Only under the threat of a position repetition will it condescend to move the Pawn a step forward: very frustrating 
. I noticed the winning score it displayed (using the info function) was better with the Pawn still to be promoted, than after the actual promotion. This is an explanation, not an excuse for an obvious flaw. At last the point is scored, triggering another couple of games.| Folgende 4 Benutzer sagen Danke zu Tibono für den nützlichen Beitrag: | ||

AW: The 64-cup
Good evening to all,
next match is Mephisto Maestro Travel (the small handheld) vs CXG Super Enterprise. Theoretical odds are 1/3 to 2/3, in favor of the K. Danielsen 16K program (recently emulated, a big thank to all contributors  - but here I use my physical device).In the first game as Black, once out of book, the CXG gets a clear edge during fifteen moves or so before commiting a small mistake that enabled a potential drawn game for the Maestro Travel. The Maestro then follows a path to a draw for half a dozen moves but fails on ist turn, letting the Super Enterprise score the first point. The second game is easier and shorter for the CXG playing White; on move #15 the Maestro Travel goes a wrong way letting the CXG dominate, yet only with a small advance. The CXG ends the match thru 3-fold repetition, with 1.5 to 0.5 points.

Good morning,
to complete the quarter-final matches, the unexpected weakest participant in the Consolation tournament now has to face the strongest: Mephisto II vs Fidelity Designer Mach III. With more than 600 CElo discrepancy, the outcome was quite predictable: 2-0 for the Spracklen program. Utter domination in each game...

AW: The 64-cup
Good afternoon,
semifinal of the consolation cup starts with Mephisto Rebell 5 vs Saitek Turbo King II. In the first game as White, the Rebell 5 gets its Queen out a bit early and unprudently, and fails to secure an exit path for it. The Queen will escape the Turbo King attack, but at the cost of a Knight for a Pawn. The game lasts but the Rebell can't recover, 0-1 for the Turbo King. The next game is rather surprising: the Turbo King sets a trap from its openings library; the Rebell was already out of its book since several moves and can't resist the poisoned offer. The line is included in the Turbo King's book with still three moves available. Yet, the overall gain from this combination is only one point from a material standpoint, thus the Rebell keeps good chances, and later applies pressure leveraging a passed Pawn, and prevails. Score is now 1-1, both wins as Black player. Here we go for two additional games, and again the Turbo King manages to win as Black, thanks to better handling of Pawns. In the final game as White, it also manages to get threatening passed Pawns, and wins. Final score: 3-1 for the Kaplan/Barnes program, and an invitation card for the final match.

AW: The 64-cup
Good morning all, wish you a happy weekend!
 Second semifinal match is CXG Super Enterprise vs Fidelity Designer Mach III Master 2265. Theoretical odds are 89 % in favor of the Spracklen program, leveraging a rather fast 68000 16-biter at 16Mhz, versus a rather modest 6301Y running at 2Mhz. The first game with the Danielsen's 16K program playing as White turns into a one-way fight starting from move #24, when the Super Entreprise badly neglects its own King safety. The revenge game is surprisingly a draw  , both devices agreeing a 3-fold position repetition as soon as move #19. Maybe the Mach III was aware a draw was enough to enter the final? Well, we all know it cannot be so, therefore it is a bit deceptive from the Designer Mach III. On another hand, it is an achievement from the Super Enterprise: it will gain some CElo points in my private ranking...

AW: The 64-cup
Good morning,
Now the Consolation cup final match is ready to be played: Saitek Turbo King II vs Fidelity Designer Mach III Master 2265. Theoretical odds are 71 to 29 in favor of the Spracklen program. To my opinion, the first game with the Designer Mach III playing the dark side is the "game of the cup"! What an attacker the Mach III can be! It gets out of the opening phase with the Bishops pair, whilst the Turbo King will play with a pair of Knights. Moreover, check the position after move #22: all Mach III long range guns (Queen, both Rooks and both Bishops) are firing at White's position! The Turbo King curls up for defense, but cannot stand such a wild pressure for long. The final mate sequence is worth seeing: the Designer Mach III sacrifices its two Bishops in a row, to get the ennemy King stark naked in the middle of nowhere! The revenge game is not that enthusiasming. It has been globally balanced, with a long boring endgame with one Pawn advantage for the Turbo King. I forced myself to keep on the game playing; according to my analysis engine there were some opportunities for the Turbo King to break through, but both devices were unable to spot these, and the game ends in a deserved draw. 1.5 to 0.5 is therefore the final score, close to the theoretically expected one.
