Arasan did reasonably well, losing only to Chiron and Pedone. The following game was interesting. Arasan won but missed Botvinnik's killer move 14. .. Bh6!:

I want to thank publicly Luca Naddei, the programmer of "Piccolino" (the chess engine on a PIC) because he has offered draw while I had have only 7 seconds on my clock, in the game Piccolino-Sabrina (round 3).

The game itself was fantastic, despite of the low ELO of our engines.

No, there is an error, Pedone-Arasan was a draw. Arasan lost only one game agaist Chiron

Hi,

Thanks Fabio; I just corrected; now the pgn is ok.

Wow !!! Great participants and beautiful matches.
Congratulations to Andrea (Chiron absolute and GSEI champion) and Johannes (Jonny's best foreign chess engine).
A great thank you to everyone; the tournament went well because each one helped to make it beautiful.

A greeting to all the participants with the hope of reviewing them all next year.
A greeting also to those people who could not come!


Best regards

Just to share the beautiful moments




the real challenge is to eat the excellent pasta amatriciana and clean the dish after eating the starters


From the left:
- Marco Giusfredi (Soldat) The swan song against Chiron
- Stefano Gemma (Sabrina) The genius of the assembler
- Johannes Zwanzger (Jonny) Speedy Gonzales to enter the coordinates in the keyboard
- Alessandro Iavicoli (AdaChess) From Germany with fury
- Luca Naddei (PICcolino) Give him a pic and he will lift the world
- Andrea Farina (Chiron) I have exhausted all the compliments for him
- Richard Pijl (The baron) You're one of us
- Timo A. Haupt (operator for Andscacs) Hi Timo, I hope you will come back next year
- Luca Lissandrello (Neurone)
- Luigino Viscione (Dimitri) The sympathy that unites
- Salvatore Giannotti (Gogobello) Go Salvatore, one more step and Gogobello will become a top engine
- Edoardo Manino (RamJet) Ok, but try translate into English: 'Fari a sucu di carramela'

Hi Fabio thank you for taking part, but ... why did you play without a book?
Hi Jon, greeting from Rome!
