A Robotic looking win against a computer (from memory)

Sort:
Kupov3

So I played this game last night against the chessmaster computer, on master level, with unlimited time. Usually this engine can beat me (though I have a few wins when it plays a wonky Ruy Lopez defense, and I've basically solved it when it plays the Berlin) fairly easily. I would assume it to be around 1900 elo strength.

It didn't play so well this game, however, and some moves surprised me. I'm trying to remember all of my games from beginning to end, and then writing them down without using a board. It's challenging and an interesting exercise. Here I'm afraid I don't get to show you how I win, but I can show you up to my two pawn advantage. I was able to convert the material into a win fairly easy (it's two pawns up in the endgame).

The engine played the pirc which I'm not exactly familiar with.The moves for the white side are so logical though that I think I managed pretty well.

 

Constructive criticism is very welcome. Thanks in advance. Kupov.

Possibly. He can defend with the king and rook though. It's certainly a good line.

and that pawn storm you were hoping for rolls home.

Oh ok, the follow through with the pawns is decisive. Yes good eye.

I played this Chessmaster character called Kenji (elo 1918) and it was an easy game. All these characters are highly overrated by at least 500 points including Chessmaster himself.

Anyway here is the game.

I played white.

Nah this is a different chessmaster program. There are no personalities, just levels of difficulty. I've estimated it at around 1900 because it usually beats me easily, and I'm somewhere around 1800.
