 The cd is gsp strategy games I got it in my local tesco store for not much more than a couple of euro and it has a few games on it .
Anyway after playing it for the last two weeks I was 120 to nil down in games i had not won a single game til yesterday I got a fluky draw. it was then I noticed I was beaten after the first couple of moves every time.
The real embarrasing thing is this was at beginner level and you can take back your move and play a different one during the game if you wish.
This meant I should have at least won a decent amount of games but every time the computer driven cd beat me.
I must admit that this cd must be quiet advanced as i have played the chess .com computer several times  when the site is being updated and have won atleast 60% of the games at beginner level that is but even so I managed to win at least one higher rated game on the chess.com computer
Anyway not one to give up to easy I sat back down again today and low and behold I managed to get a win mind you i did have a few goes  but as you can take back your move if you dont like it or if it does not work out you tend to play quiet quickly .
Anyway here is the game there are certain key moves i have learned over the last two weeks that can win or loose you the game move 5 c1 d2 getting ready for 8 d2c3 is a key move.
Also i would just like to mention a lot of my end game moves i used as a result of the knowledge i picked up from the recent vote chess game against gm jullio, anybody  who took part in that match is aware of the many heated discussions that took place about what to move and when.ONE of the big discussions in that game was weather to bring the king into play in the rook end game, today there was no discussion it was my vote that counted, but just a quick thanks to a certain magician and oachita for pointing out how important it is to keep a rook behind yor passed pawn in rook end games it stood to me today. here is the geme

 Thank you for your interest it was afairly complex game black is a computer cd i bought some years ago but it seems very advanced as that is the first time in 120 games i managed to beat it and that is at beginner level, mind you he is so difficult to beat at that level i presume that is really master level
