Hi folks,

Play in the 2nd division has finished. ElChinito won by an incredible margin. Yace, pepito and Amy are his happy companions.
On the other end, two very big upsets: Bringer and Tao, 1st division engines not very long time ago, had to be demoted to division 3!
Please visit my site for results and games.

Also, play in the 3rd division has begun. Some games that struck my eyes:
1st round
Terra played a handicap opening (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d5) against Queen and duly lost.
Frenzee won against Armageddon by means of a pretty positional sacrifice (25.- d3).
2nd round
Movei-Nejmet: Why was it Movei who claimed draw on the 50 move rule? He could have taken the rook and win! It looks like a Nejmet bug.
Arasan-Dorky: Dorky's first move out of book (18.- Bd6) was immediately a blunder which led to losing a piece. Then she spoiled her remaining chanches by offering her queen for trading.

Movei-Nejmet: Why was it Movei who claimed draw on the 50 move rule? He could have taken the rook and win! It looks like a Nejmet bug.

Movei is programmed to always claim a draw when it can do it.
This is based on the assumption that the opponent is not going to do stupid mistakes of not claiming a draw when it is good for it so if the opponent did not claim a draw in the last move then claiming a draw is the best thing to do.
