Hi
First the current standings:
1. CT800 1.40 x64 11/14
2. Dr.Deeb 10/14
3. Gosu 0.16 8.5/14
4. Tigran 2.4n x64 8/14
5. Patzer 3.80 5.5/14
6. KnighDreamer 3.3 5.5/14
7. Patzer 3.61l Leiden 5.5/14
8. Simplex 0.9.8 x64 1/14
Surprisingly,Simplex took a full point from Gosu for the first time in this competition
Now it was yet again a Nimzowitch-Larsen attack chess game which drained my brains cells out of my skull ....
Maybe one of the best games I've ever played and definitely the best one I've ever played with this opening system ....
It's late now and I must go to sleep so I'll post the game for now and tomorrow I'll write a few comments and thoughts regarding the way I played and the impressions I got from Gosu's playing style ....
Next opponent is Amy 0.8.7b Which plays
Cheers,
Dr.D
