Here are 5 games i played with the Gothic Vortex 1.03 and a good book. I just played only with white pieces the 5 games, but i will play another set of 5 games with black. Both 5 games were at 30 second per move for G.V, while i had 25 minutes for 40 moves repeating (I added +5 minutes more that the "fair 20 minute/40moves = 30sec/move, because i've noticed that G.V at our games is using more than 30 seconds per move).
I won 4 games with an amazing way while in the 4th game when book worked i lost.
Game 1:
In this game G.V had a strange behaviour. See my notes. I won with a nice attack.
Game 2:
This game has an amazing mate combination i found at move 19, after a nice attacking game. After analysing it with G.V after the match, i indeed found it was the best move and according with G.V it was an unbelievable mate in 8! My attack was once again brilliant. The easiest game i played against G.V.
Game 3:
Perhaps the most amazing game i have played against G.V. In no other game i've ever made a positional Queen sacrifice!!! And the last mating combination is something that i really can't find words to describe it.
Simply brilliant.
Game 4:
I tried to develop in my normal way for an attack but the book destroyed my plans. G.V seemed to knew what i was going to do and played according it's book up to 7 when it played the damn Nd4!. I tried to adapt and play different but my position was not the best possible, i played some dubious moves so i lost with a nice tactic move by G.V.
Game 5:
This time i sacrificed "only" a Rook, for gaining time and trapping ArchiBishop to a1, while this time my hanging Knight wasn't captured, right this time, by G.V's h-Pawn. And alhough my King seemed very open to an attack it was me, with a nice attack that won.

Here are the games:
Game1:
Me Vs G.V 1.03
1. f2f4 Ni8h6
2. Ni1j3 Nb8c6
3. c2c3 g7g6
4. d2d4 d7d5
5. h2h3 Nh6f5
6. Ag1h2 h7h5!? (I think this is a good move by G.V and i didn't like it, since it caused me many problems in my attempt for an attack.)
7. g2g3 Bh8f6
8. Bh1f3 Ag8i6
9. Nj3i5 O-O
10. Ce1g2 Bf6g7
11. j2j4 j7j6
12. e2e3?! (Not the best i believe, but i thought the time was perfect to start my attack.)
12...Nf5h6 (Very bizzare?!?! G.V rejects my Knight offer! What it should be noted here is that after the game, when i capture the Knight for G.V, then it has a +300 score in favour of black. So if it thinks it is so good move move for black, why doesn't play it?)
13. Kf1f2 Bg7f6
14. h3h4 Ai6j5
15. Cg2i3?! (Removing the defender but not a good idea i think.)
15...Aj5xi3
16. Ah2xi3 Bc8xi2
17. Rj1j2 Bi2f5
18. Qd1i1 Qd8d6
19. Nb1d2 Nh6i4
20. Rj2j3 Qd6d7
21. Nd2f1 Bf5i2
22. Nf1h2 Bi2xj3 (G.V can't refuse my new gift.)
23. Nh2xj3 Ra8d8? (The game is not here...And why not capturing my Knight??? I don't have a Rook behind after all.)
24. Ai3j5 b7b5?! (Moving some pieces to the Kingside is necessary as my attack is getting stronger after each move. But again why G.V thinks that my Knight is poisoned? I thought that there is something wrong with G.V and closed G.V at this time but when i re-opened it, it was playing the same move, and even now it does, so everything were OK. But the crazy thing is that when i'm forcing the capture of the Knight G.V thinks it is +600 points ahead. So why it doesn't capture the damn Knight?)
25. Bc1d2 b5b4
26. Bf3g2 Qd7f5
27. Bg2xi4 Qf5c2
28. Kf2e2 h5xi4

30. Ra1i1 b4xc3
31. b2xc3 Cg7h5
32. Ri1i3 Qc2xa2
33. g3g4 Ch5g7 (At this moment i had only ~1:30 for the rest 7 moves, but for the first time i saw that i was winning.)
34. Ni5xg6 Qa2a6+
35. Ke2e1 (Clever move to gain time as i was sure it would check me again.)
35...Qa6a1+
36. Ke1e2 Qa1a6+
37. Ke2f3 (I won 2 moves as i played instantly. Now i had 1:10 for the next 3 moves.)
37...f7xg6
38. Aj5xi7 Ki8j7
39. Ai7xj6 Qa6f1+
40. Qi4xf1 Kj7xj6
41. Ri3i5 Cg7i7 (The rest of the game is easy of course....)

45. j4xi5+ Kj6i7

--------------------
Game 2:
Me Vs G.V 1.03
1. f2f4 Ni8h6
2. g2g3 g7g6
3. d2d4 d7d5
4. h2h3 Nh6f5
5. Ag1h2 Bh8f6
6. c2c3 Ag8h6
7. Ni1j3 Ah6j5?! (What is this move for?)
8. Bh1f3 O-O
9. i2i4! Aj5h6
10. Kf1g2! Nb8c6
11. e2e3 j7j6 (Perhaps i6 is better.)
12. Ce1i1 e7e6
13. i4i5 j6xi5
14. Nj3xi5 (I don't think black has any defence now.)
14...Rh8f8
15. Ci1j3 Ah6g7? (Perhaps the losing move or the game was already over?)
16. Rj1i1 Bf6xj2
17. Ni5xh7! (The first firework!)
17...Ki8xh7
18. Bf3i6+ Ag7xi6
19. Qd1xi6+ Kh7g7
20. Qi6xg6+!! (I intended to play Qxi7 but the King would escape via f6, so i changed to Ag4 or this. But after Ag4 black would have many otpions (good moves) to turn the board. So i started calculating the 2 replies for black. Since fxg6 is an obvious mate for me i had to think only for Kxg6 and after some minutes i saw that black's King was history, since my ArchBishop,Chancellor and Rook would prevail. After analysing with G.V, i saw that i've missed 2 replies by G.V, but i think if any of these positions really happened i would find them. I can't compete with a computer at tactics so it's normal not to calculate correctly a mate until the end.)
20...Kg7xg6
21. Ah2i4+ Kg6h7
22. Cj3i5+ Kh7h8
23. Ci5j7+ Kh8h7 (Here when i started the Queen sacrifice(move 20), i didn't calculate the move 23...Ki8 for G.V, so if this would be a good defence for it i would lose, but as it turned out, this move also loses as there is the amazing 24.Ah6+! So i wasn't lucky after all.)
19. Bd2e1?? (No this is not a joke or an oversight of me, but i saw that the 3+ moves tempo i would gain is worth the risk. Of course and it's a bad move but at the end i won, so i could also claim the opposite.)
19...Nc4e3+
20. Kf1g1 Ne3xd1
21. Ah2g3 Nd1e3
22. h3h4 Ne3xc2 (As G.V spends time capturing my out-of-play pieces, i attack.)
28. Bh1f3 i6xj5 (G.V is the most happy computer in the world in this position. It has a +1700 score in favour of it!! How did it managed to lose? I wonder......)
29. Rj1xj5 Na1c2
30. Be1d2 Be6f5
31. Ag3h4 Ki8j7
32. i5i6+! (What is going on now? I'm winning or not? I have to analyse this position. When i played the game i was almost sure that i would be able to draw the game.)
32...h7xi6
33. Bf3xg4 Bf5xg4
34. Ci1i5+ Ag7xi5 (Now i have only 3 pieces in comparison with 6 of black side, and no Queen or Chancellor, but i've saw that black King has nowhere to go. One of the best mating net i have ever seen.)
