Colossus 2008b is almost as strong as Spike 1.2 Turin

[pichy]

So far 100 games at 5 Min per game and the score is 49.5 to 50.5. It would be nice if Colossus could play FRC.

Maybe it plays well in FRC, but I definitely don't think this version is anywhere near Spike's strength in chess.

I decided to stop the match after 300 games, and the score ended 170 to 130 in favour of Spike 1.2 Turin.
