CCT reports?

Post by jarkkop »

Are you Bob going to write anything about Crafty's games and performance in the recent CCT event? How pleased were you?

I'll try to write something up. We simply did "OK". We played several games that I thought were outstanding, two that I thought were lousy. We're better than last year, and we'll be better again next time as well. :)

But at least two games showed some evaluation issues that need help. In one case we went into a weak book line due to an unexpected transposition, but the game was not lost at that point, Crafty just managed to tangle itself up impossibly trying to avoid a weakness that couldn't be avoided. That needs work.
