It was a very interesting game
indeed today in round two of the Man vs Machine tournament
from the Wembley Conference Center in London, resulting
in a draw for both parties.
I sat down with chief programmer
Chirlly Donninger and talked about the second round game
…
“I
think it was a fantastic game on both sides and was very
difficult for HYDRA because it was a game favoring Grand
Master Adams. Also HYDRA played positionally quite good
… lets see what the next four games hold for us”
said Donninger.
Also Grand Master Michael Adams said: “I’m happy
with my performance today, it was a tough game, and Hydra
kept its defenses up throughout. A draw was the only reasonable
conclusion to the game otherwise we would have been battling
for hours. I am looking forward to tomorrow’s game.”
The
game which lasted for over five and a half hours and 65
moves and went like this:
