Hi Slobodan,
now I feel bad that BigLion did not participate in the WCCC .
The real surprise is the Blitz time control. As the evaluation function of
current BigLion beta is still similar to that of 2.23h, the analysis of
this game can help a lot.
Thanx,
Matthias.

That´s why we should be very careful before telling truth to other people, even when, supposedly, it should be a good news for them.
Next time I´ll ask you a preparatory question:
"Matthias, would you like to receive a good news just now, or later on ?"
All right ?

Do not feel so bad.
Crafty simply blundered because it did not have the 4 processors that it has in WCCC
I guess that in WCCC it could play better.
29....Rd1 was the last mistake and it seems that it needed to lose a pawn by 29...Qd6+
The first tactical mistake was losing a pawn and it seems that it happened when it played
24...Be7 (not sure that it did not happen earlier)

Hi Uri,
If you´d like to see your engine´s performance in my permanent tourney (one processor only, on a crappy hardware), sent me the last version.
Best. SL.
