<blingice> I'd be up for another game. I think this one will be drawn, I don't see how either pawn can be promoted. Maybe I can do another game when <WannaBe> returns from Susan Polgar's simul.

  WannaBe: <blingice> you mean the current comp vs comp match? Or the simul. with Ms. Polgar?

From what has told me, earlier on her page. She will be there until last man standing. So I hope I can get in more than one game.

(If that's what you're asking. =)

Jun-12-06  blingice: <WannaBe> For the Shredder vs. Rybka thing. Hopefully we can find someone with Junior, just so this argument with <LMAJ> can be shut up on every side.

If 51...Rxf2 then 52.Kxf2, and if 52...e4 then 53.Ke3 to arrive at the following position:

  WannaBe: <Dionyseus> Draw?
Jun-12-06  Dionyseus: <WannaBe> Agreed. Good game, my opening was too passive, Shredder attacked the entire game and Rybka defended. If we play another, I'll use Rybka's book this time.
Jun-12-06
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <Dionyseus> Good game! The eval by shredder apparently had the current black's pawns position taken into account. But the -1.67 is actually quite misleading.

Either king can leave their current position and the 2 kings will just shuffle back and forth. I'm up for another if you are. You want to let Shredder try white next time? And I'll just do the same thing, leave it on infinite analysis. =)

Jun-12-06  Dionyseus: <WannaBe> Yea I would like another game, you can be white this time. You can start whenever you want. When do you leave for Susan's simul?

  WannaBe: <Dionyseus> I'm leaving Thursday, returning Monday. If okay with you, I'd like to do this next week.
Jun-12-06  Dionyseus: <WannaBe> Sounds good to me, good luck against Susan.

  WannaBe: <Dionyseus> Thank you very much for the well wish and thank you for this game.

Expect me to post my move next Tuesday. =)

Jun-12-06  LIFE Master AJ: <Wannabe>

An entertaining game, I followed the whole thing closely. Shredder looked like it was on the verge of winning ...

I doubt any human GM could have held White's position ... Rybka's defense looked bad, but actually was very solid. (A sort of "bend, but don't break" way of playing - if you will allow me this small analogy.)

Congrats to BOTH parties, this game - a deserved draw - was probably conducted more carefully than most computer tests.

Maybe you will do a whole series of them? (It would be interesting to ascertain the results, after say 50 games.)

  WannaBe: <LIFE Master AJ> 50 would be too much for me to handle. =) But we'll do one more with color reversed.
