So, I had the idea to propose to a French chess streamer on Twitch to play a 2 games match against Colossus 4 (Time control 15 min + 30 sec/move). I offered 40 euros if he wins the match and 20 euros in case of 1-1.
He played on chess.com and I played against him, I copy the move into the program in a Commodore 64 emulator (available here : https://vice-emu.sourceforge.io/ ).
I set the time control to 60 moves in 60 minutes in Colossus and I used the Wrap mode for the emulator (around 900% of the original speed) to get the response faster.
Dicomaniaque is rated around 1600 in rapid on chess.com, but he talks a lot to the Twitch chat, so he loses a lot of time and don't focus enough on long tactical lines.
The 2 games were a hard fight.
First game was pretty balanced but a mistake by Dicomaniaque in the endgame forced him to force the draw with 2 rooks on the 7th.
In the second game, Colossus misevaluate a piece unbalance : BB+isolated pawns vs R+P, and it made a big mistake 17.Kd1?? leaving the king in the middle of the board instead of hiding the king on f1. Dicomaniaque never understood he has a winning attack. And he made a big blunder at the end because of time pressure.
Score : 1.5/2 for Colossus. We will retry the same match next week.
I copied both games on Lichess with graph analysis here :
