Ok, 2nd game of Pooky vs Citrine Fd 3. Citrine looses.
This makes sense considering our data reveals the Citrine is
weaker than the Sapphire II at corresponding fixed depth levels.
This is the first of 4 remaining games to estimate the Citrine
on level FD 3. These games will be against Yawce 0.16 which
is rated at 1290 on WBEC.
The Citrine started out with an early lead. It gobbled up 3 pawns
fairly early. Yawce strikes back by trapping the Citrine's queen.
Yawce keeps it together for the win.
I must admit that it is quite the joy to play with the Citrine.
It seems a joy no matter the method I play it. Whether I am
playing it, I am the interface to a computer or it is a direct interface
to a program on my laptop (DGT style), I just enjoy it.

i know that feeling well
having to stay at the board..watching the evals swing up and down after every new move
pulling for the computer to win or rooting for it to lose
of course just standing idly by as it interfaces is not my idea of fun but just as long as i am involved in some way...it is great fun

Steve,
Hello. Have you played any games with the Novag Citrine against Novag's Super Experts A,B or C?
Have you any idea of the Citrines playing style compared to these models?

HI Jaimes
while i have played many games with the Citrine i do not like to play two engines from the same programmer against each other
i think it gives a strong advantage to the more recent engine and results in an overstated ELO for the newer engine
i know that some collectors did play the Citrine against various version of the Super Expert and the Citrine won those matches fairly convincingly

Steve,
Actually strength is not my concerne. A 1700 elo machine is enough for me. My interesse is more in the playing style. I understand the Super Novag B has a very agressive play style and I wondered if the Citrine had this style of play. If it does and given it can also be raccorded to a computer I may concidere purchasing the Novag Citrine Senator Chess Computer

well for my opinion all of Kittingers engines have a very aggressive playing style against humans
in fact i find Kittingers program the most human like and natural to play against
but i cannot say that the Citrine exhibits any more of this characteristic then other kittinger programs
the Citrine Senator is very handsome but my understanding is the only difference between it and the normal Citrine are the pieces
the pieces for the normal Citrine are a bit small especially the pawns

Steve
