CRITICAL POSITION
[fen]rn2kr2/ppp3pp/4B3/8/1b3Bn1/6P1/PP1N3P/3RK2R w Kq - 0 15[/fen]
AM68060 Sargon 3 opened with a Kings Gambit which DB Socrates 3.0 accepted. In the above position AM68060 Sargon 3 is a pawn down but has a slight positional advantage. Both Kings are stuck in the center. DB Socrates 3.0 plays 15. ... Rxf4!? which is an interesting move. This leaves black with a Knight and two pawns as compensation for the Rook.
The position is very sharp and DB Socrates 3.0 plays sharply, but ultimately AM68060 Sargon 3's two Rooks start to dominate and DB Socrates 3.0 has to accept defeat.

That Sargon 3 continues to kick butt. I'm starting to regret not putting it in my Top 5 forecast for Div 2.
Are you familiar with these old chess programs that can be run directly through your web browser? https://archive.org/details/WindowsChess3.1_1020
What's your opinion of them?

Semi-Slav Defense: Botvinnik System, Lilienthal Variation ... now thats a mouthful of a variation to remember. Well I bet Millennium Chess Genius Pro wishes to have never played it as MCGP had no idea what to do with it. In this position MCGP who had already gotten away with a blunder a few moves earlier, blunders again with the move 20. ... Qa4+ and this time does not get away with it. The best move in the above difficult position was 20. ... Qb6.

Well I played book 2 with MCGP for the first two games without success, which I think is the Hiarcs book. It could be that this book is not ideally suited for the London style of play. Anyway I will persevere with it for 6 games and then switch it to the orginal London book (book 1) for the last 6 games and see how that compares.
