Dzindzi-Rybka, day 1: Dzindzi leads 1.5-.5(!)
All those years of playing computers have paid off for GM Roman Dzindzichashvili so far, as the first day against Rybka with pawn and move has given him a draw and a win. It would be nicer if he was ahead without any odds, but I guess we'll take what we can get at this point.

Games here.

It's sad that computers are offering pawn odds to the world's strongest Grandmasters. This just goes to show how much stronger computers are than humans.

Is there really no way to web-publish from Chessbase 9 with a doctored starting position (i.e. "setup position")? It looks a bit contrived with those extra knight moves.
Great blog, sorry for nitpicking!

Stig: Yes, it's possible to do that - I've done it before. But I simply decided to copy the game from the site the way they had it entered.
