A Tale of Two Fish

[Ted Summers]

Normally I would not be interested in a game between the same engines. However, being that I found the opening position to be interesting.

r2q1rk1/1pp1bpp1/p3bn1p/4p3/1n1pPP2/3P2PP/PPP3BK/RNBQ1RN1 b - f3 0 12

Plus the fact that the engines played on old and new hardware (Black Q6700 @2.66GHz vs White i7 Q720 @ 1.60GHz), So I stayed around for a while an witnessed a very enjoyable game that had black give up a bishop for 2 pawns.

r2q1rk1/1p2bpp1/p3b2p/2pnPP2/1n1p4/3P3P/PPP3BK/RNBQ1RN1 b - - 0 15

Then later showed a exchange sac of a rook for a knight leading to a won endgame for black.

5r2/1p3k2/p7/2p1r2p/P3NppP/1P1Pp3/2P1R3/5R1K b - - 0 40

Anyway, here is hoping you enjoy it.
