Vortex vs. Joker80, a Wild Game!

Last night Gothic Vortex played an hour-long game against H.G. Muller's Joker80 program. I must say, this was the most unusual game of Gothic Chess I have ever seen! Shown above is the position after 16. Ae3!? to this game:

I will annotate this game later, but feel free to comment on it here.

Pause In The Action

Just so all of the programmers know, Round 7 was completed. We are now at the "intermission", halfway through the tournament, and programmers are working on updating their programs. I have asked the Martillo programmer to send the games along with his results, which he has not done yet. (NOTE: He sent in some games with incorrect PGN moves in the move list, so I cannot show the games until he corrects this!) I also asked him to STOP running the tournament until these games have been sent in, and until the programmers have updated their software.

Games will resume 1 week from Tuesday with the round 8 pairings.
