Hello, good afternoon to all,
7th match in this 1/8th final is an easy one for the Mephisto Berlin, facing the venerable, 10+ years older, Fidelity Champion Sensory Chess Challenger: two wins in a row. None of these games reach 40 moves.
Nevertheless, respect for the Champion Sensory, which found its way to the 1/8th final, amongst sixteen out of sixty four chess computers. Kudos!
