Millennium King Performance played the Four Pawn's Attack against the Alekhine Defense and totally blindsided Fritz 3 (DOSBox). Fritz mishandled the opening so badly that by move 8 analysis showed MKP already with a +2.8 advantage. By move 23 there was already a forced mate, and MKP finished things ...

Arasan draws first blood in Game Five against Defenchess. Arasan emerged from a complicated exchange in the early middle game a pawn up and played a flawless endgame to earn the win and take a 3.0-2.0 lead in the match. Defenchess resigned after the 91st move when it finally saw the forced mate. WHI...

In yet another miraculous game, Defenchess survives an Arasan assault on its naked King and is forced to give up its Queen, then proceeds to trap Arasan's Queen and forces a repetition of position to keep the match even at 2.0-2.0. In the following position, White (Arasan) plays 26. e6+ to win Defen...

In yet another magical defence, Defenchess survives a brutal King assault by Arasan's Queen and two Rooks to keep the match even at 1.5-1.5. I mean, would you want to defend this position as White versus Arasan? Well, Defenchess did, and got a draw. 8/B4ppk/3Q3p/8/4r1rP/2P2qP1/P3bP1K/1R4R1 w - - 15 ...

In a master class on defense, Defenchess somehow survives Arasan's two passed pawns to procure the draw in a Sicilian Defense. The match is tied 1.0-1.0.

Both sides played very well and accurately in this tough draw in a Scandanavian Defense (or as we called it in my day, the Center-Counter). Millennium King Performance leads the match 1.5-0.5. WHITE Millennium King Performance BLACK Fritz 3 (DOSBox) RESULT 0.5-0.5 1. e4 d5 2. Nc3 dxe4 3. Nxe4 e5 4. ...

Get yourself a Chessnut Air. You won't regret it. I got mine a few days ago and am loving it.

The finals gets underway with a squeaky clean draw. I don't think either side ever had more than a 0.5 advantage, and by move 30 it was clear this was a draw. I played a few more moves just to make sure, but the draw was never in doubt. Has the mighty Arasan finally met its match? WHITE Defenchess 2...

The Millennium King Performance draws first blood against Fritz 3 running on DOSBox. The game was tight until about move 35, when Black infiltrated White's position with its Knights and a strong passed pawn. MKP ended the game with a cute Queen sacrifice to mate on move 61. MKP leads the match 1-0. ...

Greetings, While preparing for the Arasan vs Defenchess FINALS, I'm also going to start another experiment involving DOS chess programs and how differently they run on three different platforms: DOSBOX, QEMU, and pure DOS (as implemented through VirtualBox). You may recall I tried this before, using...
