I promise, it's luck will soon end.

Well... Gothmog slaughtered another rival
[White "Terra_33b11"]
[Black "Gothmog_10b10"]
[Result "0-1"]

"it's luck"?? What's an embarrassing spelling mistake.
I'm not sure whether I should laugh or cry. I am beginning to hate my own
engine, and almost want to see it lose (especially against engines which I
happen to like for some reason, and Terra is such an engine). On the other
hand, this looks like a quite interesting game. Yet another example that
Zappa and Gothmog are right, I think: The queen is a really strong piece!

The one who should cry is me when the "crappy" and "buggy" Gothmog beats Terra so badly...
This is the typical scenario when Gothmog meets Terra - it looks so easy when Goth walks right into the king position and just grab the king for lunch...
Good luck with your new engine! Just make it a little more "crappy" and "buggy" and it will have Shredder for lunch...

I think the result of this game would have been different if Terra had decided
to trade queens when it had the chance. In fact, the game revealed a hole in
Gothmog's tournament opening book. It is supposed to avoid the Queen's Gambit
Accepted with black, but Terra managed to fool it by using a clever transposition.
You too!
Doesn't seem likely at the moment. It is still struggling to score more than
25% against Gothmog.
