Town championship finished
I still owe you one last game. DGT board worked fine, but chess wise I wasn’t that satisfied. After my opponent gave me a pawn for nothing I played too sloppy. With a score of +4 =4 -1 I finished 8th. The only defeat was based on a technical error in a winning position.
Seven at one stroke
During a rainy vacancy day I found some time to update a few engines. Below you’ll find berserk-4.4.0, corchess-1.4 (July sources), crystal-3.2, Honey-v14, stash-bot-31.0, stockfish-14, sugar-AI-2.2 and also some slim binaries, all for apple-silicon.
A nice fight
The town championship is already finished but I still owe you two games. So here is a nice fight from round 8.

Updated sugar and honey for apple-silicon (M1):

Dirty Harry strikes again
In the sixth round of our online town championship I won my first – and a thrilling – game with the black pieces. Again I played on a DGT board connected to the server with DGT Live Chess on my Apple M1.
In the opening I chose the Dirty Harry Sicilian, a nice surprise weapon not only in blitz or rapid games. Perhaps it’s also playable in «over the board» tournament games at our level. I won’t tell you too much about the lines here. The repertoire was developed by «ChessExplained» Christof Sielecki. The theory and the interesting story behind its birth is available at chessable.com.
