Good morning,
round 3 / group 8 starts with Fidelity Sensory Chess Challenger 6 vs Applied Concept Boris.
In the first game as White, the Sensory 6 teaches Boris what a King attack is.
The second game is a hastle: both devices perform a series of senseless moves, awaiting for something to change from the other device, each staying within its own half-zone of the board. The Sensory 6 is somewhat in a better position, but only a blunder from Boris will enable a potential win. Unfortunately for the Fidelity device, no code prevents from position repetition, and Boris saves half a point. A game to be forgotten.
