Bot to Bot XI

As previously mentioned, I'm working my way up through the personality bots, playing the White pieces, advancing to the next bot only after winning two games. All my games are played at blitz/rapid speed at the Challenge level.

My last opponent was Charles (2000).

Charles is a difficult opponent. In fact I was about ready to quit after a long string of losses over an entire week when I had this surprise win.  One reason I call it a surprise is that the defense I used against the Sicilian is one I never tried before:

After this game my confidence was somewhat restored and I was hoping for a quick second win. No dice. I was able, however to draw several games. Note my draws in the 1st and 3rd games were King's Gambits.  Computers usually have little trouble winning against my KGs:

And then today, I scored a second win:

Nice

(Edit: OMG this is the first time I’ve been so early)

Congratulations! The bots are tough.

Soon to be 14 years. 

Some are easier than others but I've found that once you blunder, they become unforgiving.  With Charles I learned not to try to get fancy... and to protect my pieces and pawns.  

yay

Love this series!

Suggestion: You could try to play more classical openings against these bots, in my opinion, you will benefit more.

Good job!

Well, that just wouldn't be me. 

Thanks.  But really, there's no way I should be able to win against a 2000, even 2 out of 20 games. Draw, maybe, but not win.

Thats as long as ive been alive lol

Hmm, both times you won by ladder mate. Nice job! I highly doubt I can replicate what you did.

Wow....in that last game, Charles was winning and completely lost the thread. Good going!

I was watching it saying to myself "Look at that King run". Good job, I loved the ladder mate, perfect play BG!!!!

your good
