I defeated Sjeng 2.5

[fern]

Why you are so rude with these pals?
When I see a man playing as a 1200, I say to him he plays like a 1500.
I leave my bad feelings only for those that plays 2600 and so are lot better than me.

Something is clearly broken in Deep Sjeng handicap mode because no player at level of 1401 will play moves like 11...Nxc2+

It is possible to simulate 1401 level of playing strength by making that blunder and playing later like a strong player(playing like 1700 player after blundering a piece is enough and you do not need to play like a GM) but deep sjeng does not do it and it continues to blunder also later when it miss a draw against you.

32...Kf6 could be enough for a draw after you blundered by 29.g7 and 30.Kg5
29.Rh8+ was a simple win for white and there are more blunders by both sides that I do not mention here.

I hate to defend, as you can see I am constantly attacking and going after pieces. Also I have a hardtime checkmating an opponent before the end game. ( know how to but if you look at my clock I probably only used around 40 seconds for the whole game due to lack of patience. Ofcourse I know that more than half of the moves that I played were blunders.
