Mephisto Magellan - Millennium Exclusive King: 1/2

Gerhard playing with the Magellan chose the active book and the Millennium King got impressed. Millennium King´s evaluation was always between - 0.20 and - 0.60. Magellan had always advantages, weak game of the King.
After the first chance for a liberation King was open a 3fold repetition which the Maggie accepted immediately.
Both chess computers look pretty open for 3fold rep. draws.

Hi guys back,

Thanks.

Hello Steffen,

Yes, Sunday at 6pm your time, 9am in California is good. The game is Round #3, R30 2.5 vs MCKing 2.6. Should be an exciting game of program cousins. Does anyone know how I can super-charge the R30 CPU?
See you on Lichess.

Dave

[Dave C]

Hi Al,

Would Friday at 7pm your time (11am my time) work for you? It would be Round #4 RevII-London vs R30 2.5.

Great, Dave, let´s do this.
I think Gerhard had had the right idea...

Hi Guys,

I agree on both:

@Dave at 11am / 7pm (me) Friday for Rev2 London v R30 2.5 (round:#4)
