Averno 0.30 - Faile 1.4: Two interesting fights!

[José Carlos]

Two interesting games, IMHO.
The first one is an even fight, but at the end, Faile outsearched Averno.
In the second game, both programs leave their books very soon. Averno has sacrificed a pawn from his book, and evaluates the position close to zero all the time, due to white weaknesses. Finally, he can prove that black position is better with a straight attack.

Good luck, Adrien, with your program. It's good to have another interesting opponent on the court.

This is without a doubt my favorite kind of checkmate, using the King to fence off the 2 squares and and using the Rook to make the check on the King in the corner.
One of my favorite programs to play against in this strength catagory is Cilian by François Scheurer. I have not tried running any games between Cilian and the new Faile though, they might be interesting.

I really like both chess programs, and they are rapidly expanding in ability.
I am looking forward to seeing their performance in the upcoming contests.
