[Kasparov111]

15. b5 Ne5 16. Nd4 f5 17. Nxe6 fxe6 18. Rd1 Qh4 19. exf5 Rxf5...

RISC II plays the risky 19.exf5!?, it needed to play Bishop to e2, to make way for a castle and prioritise King safety, now it's at risk of all kinds of attacks...

Nxd4 12. Bxd4 b5 13. a3 Bb7 14. Rae1 g6 15. Bd3 Nh5 16. Qh3 Nxf4

[Kasparov111]

RISC II bizarrely doesn't take the bishop on e4 and allows a powerful attack on it's king, not sure what it was calculating...

17. Rxf4 e5 18. Nd5 Bxd5 19. exd5 exf4!? 20. Qh6 f6 21. Bxg6

[Kasparov111]

Genius now plays an even weirder move with 23.Re3??....maybe it so nothing better and decided on the perpetual check to end the game in a draw...

hxg6 22. Qxg6+ Kh8 23. Re3

[Kasparov111]

The game ends in a draw, it's just a perpetual, pretty weird game from both sides, looked like Genius had a big advantage at the end there, may have just been an illusion.

fxe3 24. Qh5+ 1/2-1/2

The Match Score is: Genius 68030 33mhz leads 1.5-0.5
