Good evening to all,
next match is Mephisto Maestro Travel (the small handheld) vs CXG Super Enterprise. Theoretical odds are 1/3 to 2/3, in favor of the K. Danielsen 16K program (recently emulated, a big thank to all contributors
- but here I use my physical device).
In the first game as Black, once out of book, the CXG gets a clear edge during fifteen moves or so before commiting a small mistake that enabled a potential drawn game for the Maestro Travel. The Maestro then follows a path to a draw for half a dozen moves but fails on ist turn, letting the Super Enterprise score the first point.
The second game is easier and shorter for the CXG playing White; on move #15 the Maestro Travel goes a wrong way letting the CXG dominate, yet only with a small advance. The CXG ends the match thru 3-fold repetition, with 1.5 to 0.5 points.
