I think Mchess will beat System Tal, although not after some quite exciting games. However, I am rooting for Tal!

Hi,

i espect TAL to play around 2500 ELO on this hw (intel core 2 duo 2,2 GhZ), mchess Pro 7.1 around 2600 ELO...so mchess should win...but we will see...
the 2. game is running at the moment TAL shows +2.40 after 19 moves !!!!

exciting!!!

Nothing flashy in this game, but Tal gets the job done. I am quite surprised by CSTal's performance so far!

[Alibaba]

Hi michael, yes CST 2.03 seem to be at the same level as M-Chess Pro 7.1, the game ended draw and the standing is now 2-2, that means the match continues until the next win......

I hope to see another game with magic moves from CST so that CST will reach the next step to play a match vs M-Chess Pro 8.0....

I remember reading years ago about a bug in Cstal ( not sure what version, but there was a patch) in which it played weaker as black and much stronger as white. I cannot remember the details but I know it was something like that. Maybe someone can ask Chris W.
