One of my best games

[maxchgr]

After Bxg5, there were some pitfalls, but it's easier to find the correct moves when only few seem playable.. process of elimination. Thanks... and I liked your game. Maybe others should post their games against these types of fun but beatable engines.

Here's another game I played with CSTAL II. As late as move 51, I could have kept the win with 51.Ke2... I left my postmortem Rybka and Junior analysis in there.
