Ich machte soeben dies Bericht bei Hiarcs Forum daher moechte ich es auch hier gerne berichten. Es ist auf Englisch weil mir das naturlich leichter geht und ich kann ja auch besser auf Englisch ausdruecken

I played another couple of games this morning. I started by wanting to try out another personality against Revelation Hiarcs 13.3.



Critical Position



The opening favors the white pieces so Revelation Hiarcs this time had the pressure from the start. Typically it is games like this where King is on the defensive that King struggles. The Auburn personality had the same problems, not exactly knowing how to get something more out of this game.

Auburn blunders in the above position which if 28. … Qh2+ were to be played would provide some initiative and good chances for a draw. Auburn played 28. … a6? which was a mistake and the game was quickly won by Revelation Hiarcs 13.3.

Final Position



Here is where I resigned for Auburn because after exchanging rooks with the next move the game is hopeless for black.

Revelation Hiarcs 13.3 gets its first win against Millennium King beating the Auburn personality.

After this game I wondered if King of Alabama could do any better than Auburn in this particular opening against Revelation Hiarcs 13.3. After all King of Alabama drew 2 games yesterday against the mighty Revelation Hiarcs 13.3 So I repeated the exact same opening at 1 minute per move.

Here is the game.



Critical Position 1



The game repeated itself until this position was reached where now King of Alabama plays 23. …. Kg7 whereas Auburn played 23. … h6. h6 was the better move as this position is evaluated as a draw with right moves and h6 has that drawn evaluation. Kg7 is not quite as good and Hiarcs 13.3 now starts to get some opportunities to build a good advantage.

So at this point I thought here we go again as I thought Revelation Hiarcs 13.3 would win this quite easily again.

Critical Position 2



By the time this position is reached I could sense that Revelation Hiarcs 13.3 was also not quite getting it, having missed a couple of better move opportunities previously. Also I started to notice that Hiarcs 13.3 started to consider Bg6?! as its best continuation and that its not seeing a threat with the advanced pawn on a5. 30. Kf3! is the best move with a full pawn ahead evaluation. Anyway Revelation Hiarcs 13.3 decides to play 30. Bg6 in this position and the evaluation shows this as drawn again.

Critical Position 3



Now here is the shocker... After that quick exchange Revelation Hiarcs 13.3 only has one possible move with a chance to draw the game which is 32. Be8. Revelation Hiarcs does not see this and plays 32. Be6?? and loses the game because of the theat of Black's Queen moving 32. ... Qc5!! which wins immediately. After 32. Be6? was played King of Alabama sees Qc5! after about 10 seconds with a good positive evaluation. Whereas Revelation Hiarcs 13.3 does not see that he is losing until after the move was played. The key threat of course is the advanced passed pawn on a5!

So King of Alabama after three 1 minute per move games leads Revelation Hiarcs 13.3 with a score of 2 - 1 !!

Revelation Hiarcs 13.3 after one game leads Millennium Auburn with a score of 1 -0!

I had played these games because Micha and I had planned to not include Revelation Hiarcs 13.3 in this forthcoming tournament and I felt a little guilty about that as that would be ommiting the best Revelation program after all Hiarcs 13.3 is rated by SSDF with 2772 ELO!!

I think that the Alabama test result where it scored 2761 ELO seems to show at least for King of Alabama that it might be a program that could play at over 2700 ELO against opponents.

But it is hard to know for sure as all the games after clicking the enter button ended up being Sicillian openings and there so many openings that would need to be played first to know how these personalities handle them.

Tactically however King of Alabama has given Revelation Hiarcs 13.3 a lot of difficulty which is a good sign.

So Revelation Hiarcs 13.3 will now join the Tournament as favorite, but hopefully these games have shown that not every game will be an easy win for Revelation Hiarcs 13.3.

Also der Revelation Hiarcs 13.3 wird doch demnaechst als grosser favorit mitspielen in das Millennium Aegon Revisited Turnier.
