Hi,
a match of weak ones now: Novag Octo vs Novag "Chess Champion"

Delta-1. Just a reminder: the Delta-1 code is a messed-up copy of the Boris, dating from Novag's early pirate era. Did I mention it likes to push its Pawns? Yes, I did... and the first game provides an evidence: it IS a bloody pawn-pusher... Only on move #10 does it finally agree to move anything else... under the pressure from a check. The Octo is a bit lucky, as the Delta-1 was unable to spot several opportunities for a mate in 2.
The second game is a massacre for material: the Octo achieves mate with a Queen, 2 Rooks, 1 Bishop and 1 Knight advantage (and a Pawn more, too, but this gets marginal

).
