This Week's ChessVideos Show: Two Shows!
Friday, November 19, 2010 at 12:03PM The "official" show is here, in which I present a remarkable computer battle from one of Martin Thoresen's all-engine battles. It's a really spectacular game in which attack and defense remain in a precarious balance for a long time before one side goes too far, and even that turns out to be fascinating as well. This is definitely a game to check out, and suitable both for pure entertainment and especially for training.
This week there's a second video as well. Last week's show featured a couple of pawn endings arising straight out of opening theory, and one of the viewers asked a very good question, one that deserved a special look. So here it is: two videos for the price of one!
That "price" is very reasonable - it's free (free registration required) - and the videos will be available on-demand for the next month or so.

Truly a spectacular game, and definitely the most entertaining computer-computer game I've seen this month. As for how I did on analyzing along while going over the game, I can say that I managed to guess cxb2, but mostly because I was asking myself "what would be the most spectacular move here?".
As for other good computer-computer games, there was the last game from the Rybka-Stockfish match. Rybka's evaluation function clearly didn't take into account enough how much the white passer on c6 restricted its pieces. I believe that there was some chat during the game about wanting you to present it as computer game of the month, but your choice was good too - and certainly much more exciting.
