Does Hiarcs on the Rev have position learning? If it does you should probably switch it off when doing a test like this. Don't forget to switch it back on afterwards!

Say NO to Learning regards,
Harvey

Yes it does
i turned the computer off
reset the position and turned Position learning to FALSE(OFF)
Same exact search depths reported

After move 31 the machines came up with this position. Rev II had a very strong attack in the King side and Mysticum had an extra pawn in the queen side. The black bishop and the 2 white and black rooks went out of the board in the following 5 moves.

In the above position The Rev II King was not protected so Mysticum made a lot of checks to neutralize this strong attack but because of this Mysticum was not able to move this c5 extra pawn and after 26 more moves we agreed a draw.

The same pattern continues..

White comes out of book ..up a P ..but it is insufficient to win the game

the match is now reduced to 7 games with the Rev II having white 4 times

DGT Venus pieces up next Regards

Sorry I missed it

looks an interesting game, thank you both

ricard60 · Post by **ricard60** » Sat Feb 01, 2014 5:14 pm

tomorrow 4th game Rev II vs Mysticum. Up to now they have played the following oppenings.

1. Queen oppening
2. Grünfeld defense
3. Spanish oppening, Marshall Attack
4.?

probably geme 3 had some tactical shots but they played very accurate and there were no room for it.

Strategic games regards

Game 4 Ends In Yet another draw

Rev ll was Out Of Book on move 10
Following the pattern of the previous games...
one side wins a P but the position was totally drawn at move 50
However the Mysticum was in the mood to treat the spectators to a "Knights
Tour" and proceeded to make 22 consecutive Knight moves before it agreed to split the point at move 72

Thanks for posting Steve, I intend to go back and look at the Hiarcs king moves which I still don't understand.

And the piece set for game 5?

Yes the Rev ll's 16th and 17th moves surprised me as well
it wanted to play 16.Rc5 but then switched to the K move
dont think it really mattered much
actually i thought the game was headed for a draw after the Q's were exchanged on move 14

The Fifth game will be Sunday February 16th
no game next Sunday

this works out good for me as i recently picked up a fairly Rare Computer and i haven't had a chance to play with it yet
now i can poke and prod it a bit

Timeless Pieces Up Next Regards

Looks like I'll miss the next game due to family commitments

Maybe they won't notice me on the laptop?!

Here is how Mysticum saw the fourth game. It was a sicilian allways a exciting oppening going for blood. Mysticum came out of the oppening on move 15th.

This position came up after move 51.Kxf3 I thought it could be a winning
chance but the d pawn can not do it
