Here are two games from earlier this ...Hi everyone<br /><br />Here are two games from earlier this week where Fritz 10 played Gata Kamsy twice on the ICC, at the time limit of 3+1. Kamsky's ICC handle is 'Talion', Fritz 10 in this case 'BigMomma'.<br /><br />They are both quite interesting games, in completely different ways. The first sees black (Fritz) crashing through the centre then mating with a neat tactic.<br /><br />The second shows how clueless computers can be in the endgame - look how many times Kamsky plays Kd7-c7 in a row. One might assume the Fritz operator knows little about chess or otherwise would have accepted a bored Kamsky's draw offers. And one might also assume BigMomma will soon be on many no play lists due to this kind of time-wasting.<br /><br />[Event "ICC 3 1"] <br />[Site "Internet Chess Club"] <br />[Date "2006.11.23"] <br />[Round "-"] <br />[White "Talion"] <br />[Black "BigMomma"] <br />[Result "0-1"] <br />[ICCResult "White resigns"] <br />[WhiteElo "3191"] <br />[BlackElo "3586"] <br />[Opening "King's Indian: Torre attack"] <br />[ECO "A48"] <br />[NIC "QP.01"] <br />[Time "18:04:26"] <br />[TimeControl "180+1"] <br /><br />1. d4 Nf6 2.
