With the help of my son and a friend, we finished the fever caused by the
fifth test game with a victory over Chess V after 6 titanic hours of a
very disputed game to complete near 85 moves (we played White, and Chess V
used 10 sec. per move in Pentium IV, 2.1 GHz.). The program played really
well, it attacked and defended strongly, but this game is very
instructive, it puts on the carpet the way of taking positional advantages
in this kind of closed positions, and shows why this is a game which
sometimes favours defense over attack. See and enjoy it!:
