Chessmaster 1000 is the only person here on BrainKing that has sent me games he played against Gothic Vortex where he absolutely slaughtered the program.

Vortex would think it was ahead by 200-300 points, when his slow, gradual pressure would overpower it from too far away. Just for curiosity, I compiled a version that would search until I interrupted it. Even searching for 3 days, Vortex thought it was winning, yet as I played Chessmaster 1000's moves, his moves would win.

I say this because very few people on this site can win in this fashion. Usually a win against Vortex can be cured by a longer time setting or something that was missing in the knowledge.

This was not the case.

Even in my own wins against Vortex, the scores are not so far off. CM1000 would let his pawns get captured only to occupy a huge hole with his pieces and attack like crazy some 15 moves (30 plies) later.

I know the names of every person on here who purchased a Gothic Vortex license, and he is not one of them.
