After watching a couple of games where Milhouse appeared to get behind, but then pulled out a draw, here’s one where milhouse got behind, stumbled, and lost. I haven’t had the opportunity yet to study it in any detail, but I’ll archive the game here for future analysis:

1-0

Addendum: Hmm. This is another game where Milhouse played white, and stumbled into the Double Corner opening. I could probably benefit from an opening book, or at least, I should figure out why it prefers this move in this case, and maybe alter it to not play into this opening.

Addendum²: By the time white plays 7. … 22-18, he’s probably already behind, but 22-18 doesn’t lead to anything good.
