I heard that you ate Cheetos before your match against Hamsters. I think the Cheeto's helped you cheet. Nice match by the way, I wouldnt have been able to do it.

Thanks Tony,your comments are much appreciated as always
Note that in 100 plyed games I have maximum between 4-6 games with a positive result,all the others are a lot of draws and even more losts
In this particular game I saw the winning chances as the black queen was "sleeping" away from it's king which it's ass,oooops sorry,I mean which it's position was exposed to the attacks
Cheers,
Dr.Wael Deeb

P.S.BTW,after playing more and more games against all kinds of engines,I didn't become a grandmaster,but my percent of the drawn games is getting bigger and I don't make big blunders that easy as before

Doctor,
what a terrible mistake you have made... now the hamsters are angry, very angry! I promise I've never seen the wheel spin so fast!
Although they told me to congratulate you for the brilliant win, I took a quick look into the war room to confirm they're indeed studying your strategy and taking notes... next game won't be so easy!

Hi Alessandro,
I am so happy that I attrackted your attention,indeed I posted this game to be a help to the author in the field called "King safety"
By the way,with the white pieces the Hamsters bited my ass so bad that I still have scares ,although this happened in the deep end game....
Cheers,

I guess we shouldnt tell him that Romi is starting to kill hamsters again about 67% of the time.

Now the Hamsters are as twice angry and will drop first blood

Tsk... you are scoring about 13% against each hamster, nothing to be proud of really...

Eh... you are putting your finger (and your pieces! ) right where it hurts! I have spent about 4 weeks on that part alone, and yet it is by far the worst piece of the whole program. I admit have no idea how to evaluate king safety in a decent way. Your example helps a lot (good human moves with explanation, you can't really ask for more!) but still there's very little data for me to work...
I'm currently trying to add some endgame knowledge, will try to review the evaluation soon after that!

[Michael Sherwin]

But, Romi is just using one hand to battle those determined little beast, one finger for each hamster!

Since, I finally saw Tony's results for NG1 and figured out what must have been the cause for the strange results, changes have been made. Ninja Girl 2 is now playing a hundred game match vs. Hamsters 0.2 and after 46 games complete the score is +23 -10 =13 in favor of Romi. The good news is (bad if you are a hamsters fan) is that Romi is very strong in the second half of a Sherwin50.pgn match. If all goes according to established trends I fully expect Romi to finally get a 70%+ score vs. Hamsters 0.2. And if indeed that is the case then we shall see about hamsters 0.3.

OBTW, Romi now only spills the blood of virtual Hamsters. She says; "it's just as much fun since the blood and guts seem so real, but when I pull the wire out of the back of my head there's no mess to clean up!"

I'll post the results when done.

Edit: Now +25 -10 =13. Romi at the half way point is usually +5, not +15. I sure hope the second half goes as expected! Retaliation expected!!
