Games 15 thru 18: 2 draws and 1 win each

To Date: Zappa Mexico II- 10.0 , Naum 3- 8.0

After 18 draws in 30 games v Rybka, and 12 draws in 18 games so far here, i have come to the conclusion Naum 3 is the Karpov of computer chess. Definitely no "Head Hunter" ag. stronger opponents or those of approx. same strength. Not a criticism- just an observation.


PGN package available at match conclusion.

Thanks for testing all these wonderful engines George. You are doing a great job. Your contribution to computer chess community as a whole is a lot, and you would be sorely missed. Even more, the whole CCC might collapose if you were to stop testing.

Naum's style has been compared to Kramnik's.

Thanks for that bit of info, Ulysses. Not a bad style to be compared to.

Best,
