46th Amateur Series Division 2

[Graham Banks]

Another interesting game. This time DiscoCheck won it. A piece sacrifice out of the opening, with interesting pressure lasting throughout the middlegame and some nice endgame finesse

Those blinded by the top few engines only don't realise that there are a whole bunch of other engines that also play high quality and interesting chess.
Their loss!
