I will at least draw this game

[Chessqueen]

Next games I will try to beat a 1640 Engine like Vapor, it will be hard to beat it but I will play at least 100 games with just one opening with White and One Opening with Black, making improvement as I play from game to game.

Is there really any difference in a 1640 rated engine and what you were playing?

That is a good question? What I noticed when playing versus Ozwald rated 1490 was that it blocked its own Bishop, whereas Vapor rated 1640 will never block its own pieces. But between a `1590 and a `1640 it is like if you play with an engine rated 2350 and later versus a 2400
Anyway it is much harder for me to get a win versus vapor than it is versus Rainman. What makes me really mad is that after I read many chess Books during the last 13 months all that I can get is many draws specially versus vapor This time I decided to play game in 30 minutes with 5 sec increments

Another Boring Draw, I will probably need to play 100 games against this engine.

This time I decided to play game in 60 minutes + 5 seconds increment, and I finally won the 1st game. Now I know that all those chess books that I read in the last 13 months, the extra knowledge helped me.
