Strange game by 64 CPU Mission Control

[bedouin]

I was looking at the database of games from the freestyle and the thing that surprised me was the loss below given that the 64 CPUs already saw the defeat in the flyingfatman game and resigned long before people were asking what was going on. Maybe 64 CPUs are not too good like too much learning.

I think you have the wrong game there. But if you mean the poisoned pawn game that Flyingfatman won in the Freestyle then that is a totally different game. Dagh was playing Centaur against the multi cpu machine, and after Bc7! the game was basically over. The variation after Bc7 was forced and engines see the forced loss of Queen or mate only after Qxf5+ or after a very very deep think after Bc7.

Here is the correct score of the game you are talking about

No I'm referring to the correct game. In the game I gave above which is in the freestyle database Mission Control makes strange decisions :-

- allow the sacrifice on c3 when black gets a good game.
- sacs the g5 pawn
- continues the game when black has a good evaluation (I don't know if I explained correctly)

If the 64 CPUs can see as far ahead as in the flyingfatman game why does he then do what he did in the above game? Even here he could have resigned long before he did and not allowed the c3 sac. Also I don't know which book he is using but that h3 is not a main move.
