AC1 Winboard KO Tournament by Alexandre Côme
15min+3sec on Winboard 4.0.2, AMD K6 II 350 Mhz, 16MB for Hash Table, Ponder Off
The first turn will be in 10 games, the second in 15 games and the final in 20 games!
First Turn:
Anmon 4.27-Comet B05= 3-7
Bringer 1.5-LGoliath 2.05= 2-8
Dragon 3.11-Zchess 1.2= 5-5 and 0-4 (5min+3sec).
Phalanx 21-TCB 0043= 6.5-3.5
Comet B05, Lgoliath 2.05, Zchess 1.2 and Phalanx 21 are selected for the second turn.
Phalanx 21 has produced good games, it is very good in tactical play and it sacrifices some pawns and some pieces
with success, but it seems to have some little problems in positional play. Phalanx is definitely my favorite chess program.
Follows a very good game of Phalanx:
