Bizarre Bright 0.4a game

[Eraserheads]

It doesn't take a lot to make me happy.

Good thing I have chess as one of my hobbies...and thanks to great programs like Bright

0.4a, I get to enjoy gems like this regularly.

Another great, out-of-this-world game from Bright, typically mind-boggling!

In this position, after Black's ...Nc5, Bright comes up with a pawn sac to muddy the waters

(11. e5!?) Without moving any pieces, I can see that this brings the game into an

immediate precipice.

[d]r1b4r/1pqnkppp/p3p3/2n1P3/3N2P1/2N3Q1/PPP4P/2KR1B1R b - -

...Nb6

Without moving the pieces, I cannot see why Black cannot take the pawn on e5. Perhaps

Bright has seen something deep, as it is known to be a very tactical program. Whatever it

is, SOS didn't date take the pawn.

Rxf7!

Wow! What a beautiful shot! Taking the Rook leads to a quick mate.

[d]2r1k1r1/1p1b1Rp1/pq2p3/2n1P3/n2N4/2N3Q1/PPP1B2P/2KR4 w - -

Ncb5!

Now it gets even more confusing. I can't follow the game anymore. A rook en prise on f7, now a knight on b5! The following moves show Black playing suicidal moves. Perhaps SOS has seen that all is lost.

For a chess afficionado who sees chess as an art, Bright is a goldmine for brilliancies.

I think I'll create a Bright - Gambit Tiger - Junior - Thinker games collection. Games like this should be kept and recorded for their beauty!

What PC and time control do you play your games michael?

Perhaps Spark also is a interesting engine i have to test 32bit version. Would be interesting as i stated earlier to have chess engines that have antihuman settings (Gambit Tiger, Chesstiger, ProDeo, Thinker Active) play against these type of engines it will be battlefield for sure lol Junior 2010 still has style.
