Onderwerp: Re: Pawn capture in Embassy Chess game

Aangepast door Walter Montego (14. maart 2006, 03:19:05)

Walter Montego: The SMIRF offered a draw and I accepted. I wasn't able to see a way to profitably trade a Knight for a Pawn or two and try to get an attack going. I have the feeling SMIRF never would do that either.

So the game ended after 66 moves and no Pawns captured, nor a Pawn making a capture. I'll challenge SMIRF to another game in a few days. I'm thinking this game was a fluke, but there's something to thinking longer range even if it's just a vague plan in trying to beat a machine. We all know how much the nature of a game can change with the placement of even one Pawn.
