Dr. I guess the test run under own book's? or under your book?

[Dr.Wael Deeb]

In my tournaments the engines use their own opening books,unless they don't have one,they use iPapyrus.abk or iPapyrus.ctg

[George Tsavdaris]

I think the manual resignation by you was premature.
Yes black is better, but white has 2 strong passed Pawns that are supported by the Bishop, has a very strong light Bishop in a very good square and the blockade on e2-d3 seems very strong for white.

Not so sure about the black win and definitely Aice could make mistakes and even lose the game....


For example from the position you stopped it, against Rybka 1.2i with 30 seconds per move for Rybka and Aice the same time control you used:

CSTal II is not Rybka, but the nature of the position can make it possible CSTal to draw too....

[Dr.Wael Deeb]

No,I didn't stop the game,but the rest of the game was not interesting to post,black did win convincingly about 12 moves later....

[George Tsavdaris]

No,I didn't stop the game,but the rest of the game was not interesting to post.

Strange decision.... Why do you think it was not interesting?
The position is not easy to play and a small mistake by Aice could turn it into a draw if CSTal played perfectly.
Could you post the whole game now to see how it finished?

[Dr.Wael Deeb]

Sorry,but I am like Thorsten,not a database fan
Aice did win in this very game even with the white passed pawns and the strong bishop,white position was getting from bad to worse....
Hold on,I'll post more games and I promise not to make a hair cut no more
