A taste of Pedone 3.0's style

[Eraserheads]

I'm a chess engine style junkie for the past 20 years, and I still get excited whenever a new aggressive engine comes along.
Reading about the EAS ratinglist, I discovered a bunch of engines, and got Pedone 3.0 for a quick test vs Shredder 13.

The game was wonderful, with Pedone sacrificing a piece, then later holding off White with a group of pawns while being a rook down.
This play reminds me a lot of Thinker. Unfortunately we never got a multi PV version of Thinker, but Pedone is so complete and clean, it reminds me of Fruit.

Good stuff!

Sorry I don't know how to append a chess board in the forum, but here is the game.
