ZYG -

I haven't read the champ match and a few other battles but this is my favorite verse of the week thus far. I've recently started playing chess (horribly) so this topic was in my wheelhouse. Even if it wasn't this was expertly done. I thought the writing was smooth throughout and the rhymes alternated from good enough to good. The actual content, though, was spot on. I liked the idea of creating an alternate reality version of Kasparov v. Deep Blue. The use of chess notation was a genius stroke. It broke up your verse into very readable portions and felt interactive. Well done all around.

Also, having watched a documentary on Kasparov v. Deep Blue he still to this day thinks there was human intervention in Game 2. I think your line referring to the human handlers of Deep Maroon questioning and trying to tinker with the machine was a purposeful allusion to that?

YDK -

Good verse here. You've definitely elevated. Or at least honed your writing on this site into what's considered good. The rhymes were strong and your wording, which I've had issues with in the past, was smooth. You attacked the topic well. Your ending was very well worded. You spoke to honor and speaking out well here. One of your best verses in my humble opinion.

Great stuff. As I said, YDK brought it. He went up against a steamroller of a verse this week, though. Thanks for the reads, sincerely.
