Hmmm....I really don't know? I might be wrong but the Excel is likely the weakest link, like you suggest with your prediction?

It will be too close to call unless one side is lucky.

The Mascot will kill the weak after the match Regards,

in the Game both computers reached 6 ply on average and the Diablo was first out of book at move 7



[White "Fidelity Designer Mach III"]
[Black "Novag Diablo"]
[Time Control "Game/30min"]


1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6 5.Nc3 Qc7 6.Be3 a6 7.Bd3 Nf6 8.O-O
Bd6 9.Nxc6 Bxh2+ 10.Kh1 dxc6 11.g3 Bxg3 12.fxg3 Qxg3
[d] r1b1k2r/1p3ppp/p1p1pn2/8/4P3/2NBB1q1/PPP5/R2Q1R1K w kq - 0 13

we are only 13 moves into the game and already there is an unbalanced position
The MIII's King has been stripped clean of its pawn cover but the Diablo had to exchange a B for 3 Pawns to do it

both computers think White is ahead here with MIII showing +.6 and the D -.56

13.Qf3 Qh4+ 14.Kg2 h6 15.e5 Qg4+ 16.Kh1 Qxf3+ 17.Rxf3 Ng4 18.Bf4 g6 19.Ne4 h5 20.Nd6+ Kf8 21.Bh2 f5 22.exf6ep g5

[d] r1b2k1r/1p6/p1pNpP2/6pp/6n1/3B1R2/PPP4B/R6K w - - 0 23

Mach III has regained one of its pawns

PV's here are wildly different with MIII showing +3.26 and D -1.64
who will be proven right?

23.Re1 Bd7 24.Bc4 b6 25.Bg1 c5 26.Bd3 Rh6 27.f7 h4 28.Be4 Rd8 29.Rb3 Bb5 30.Nxb5 axb5 31.Rxb5 Kxf7 32.Rxb6 c4 33.Rb7+ Kf6 34.Bc5 Ke5 35.Be7 Nf2+ 36.Kg2 Nxe4 37.Bxd8 h3+ 38.Kh2 g4 39.Rg7 Kf5 40.Rf1+ Ke5 41.Rxg4 Nd2

[d] 3B4/8/4p2r/4k3/2p3R1/7p/PPPn3K/5R2 w - - 0 42

the Mach III is up an entire rook
now both computers PV's are in sync at +7.19 and -6.42
the fact that the Diablo does not resign here is proof positive that this is a match to the death(Wooden Mallet looming overhead)

42.Rf2 c3 43.b3 Kd5 44.Rg3 Ne4 45.Rd3+ Kc6 46.Re2 Nd6 47.Rxc3+ Kd7 48.Bb6 e5 49.Rxe5 Nf7 50.Rc7+ Kd6 51.Ree7 Ne5 52.c4 Nd3 53.Be3 Re6 54.Red7+ Ke5 55.Rxd3 Ke4 56.Rcd7 Rf6

FINAL POSITION
[d] 8/3R4/5r2/8/2P1k3/1P1RB2p/P6K/8 w - - 0 57

its enough
the Designer is up so much material i cant even keep count
i had to tear the Diablo away from the board kicking and screaming as it insisted it could still pull out a draw if only the Designer would blunder

as predicted the Designer draws first blood

Match Score ....Team Mach III 1-Diablo 0

Excel Up Next Regards
Steve
