Live: Zappa vs. Shredder

[Volker Pittlik]

On my AthlonXP Zappa is just playing a 20 games match vs. Shredder 8. Time control is 25 minutes initially + 3 seconds per move. Shredder is using an experimental version of Polyglot which can create books.

This games are part of a test of different books. One is a Bookthinker book made by Guenther Simon, the Polyglot book was made by me. If you have TLCV or WBRGO you can follow this games live.

I'll be happy if Zappa scores 20% in such a match
