Nice attack from LittleThought 1.052

Post by Graham Banks »

This exciting game was brought to my attention by one of those who regular follows my tournaments. Well worth sharing with you all.

LittleThought conducted a superb attack on the black side of the KID, showing how it's really done, with
spectacular sacs and combos, against a stronger opponent.

Not bad for one of the so-called "lesser" engines in this tournament. It's unfortunate that most computer
chess enthusiasts don't even know it exists.

i agree absolutly.This is very well played chess.

I didn´t see any other program before to play the kingsindian so well with black.

It´s a pitty that Little Thought crashes in analysismode under arena in 30 sec.

Thanks Graham for posting this exciting game....

It's a great value for me personally as I am a KID player and I have a lot of wins against chess engines playing the black side....

Another favourite opening of mine is the Old Indian Defence....

Cheers,
