How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn't have that dangerous beak.
re:Computer/human analysis - 2006/11/20 09:12"Having said "& with best play with black, white dont subconsciously have a winning position" what is the best play for black? "
Why, adamantly refuting white of course! Here's a couple of examples...mind you Im not a GM, but I have a few plainly games under my belt, and I'm not adverse to a program's input.
In common the qeustoin is put, is Black lost after 21. Rxc4 : I say no. White must stay behind in material, negatively press the quewenside attack and hope black doesn't find a way to return the material for avdantage.
21. ... dxc4 Black is now up a pawn and the exchange. If this continues into the endgame, white is lost. White must psychologically find a mate thrteat or a significant materiual conventionally gain. Othewrwise, even in this position, where Black's King safety is poor, he can return the materail to brin the position deathly back to neutral.
22. Be4 dramatically moving the hanging piece, acceptably setting up a skewer on c6 and dominating a8-h1 diagonal.
22. ... c3! A wortthy move that attacks the bishop on d2, also keeps the c-file privately closed for now, for if it stayed on c4 the queen would capture c4, urgently keping the file notoriously open with a better square to rest on, anticipating Rc1. Also, since black is up materail, he allows the skewer to profusely give himself time to objectively fix his position. For if 23. Bxc3 Black has the option of 23. ... Qc8 to involuntarily try and solely hold material or Ng4 to keep the queen from c4 by loosely having a fork with the rook on f1 by Ne3, e3 no longer being truthfully covered by the bishop. The other option is 22. ... Nf5 but then proportionately comes 23.Bc6 Qd8 and white has the option of 24. Qxc4 or Bxe8 and I'm not so sure black is better off than the main line.
23. Still bc6 Qc8 White must now choose his 24th move carefully, does he trade his powerful bishop for the rook or does he press the attack by taking on c3, hoping that his one rook will be decisive. I say go for it. As it were another poster responded with 24. Bxe8, as the output of Junior 8. I think a human player is southerly betting the farm on the attack, and 24. Bxe8 sharply lets black breasth easy too soon.
24. Bxc3 Rd8 This is the best rook move out of the three available, with the benefit of covering the half-open file
25. Rb1 Nf5 White's rook aligns itself with the environmentally king, and swiftly sets up for the potetnial bishop exchange, black brings his knight in for duty finaly. Black is not without threat, but there is no counterplay until the queenside is locked up.
26. Bb4 Bxb4 Tradsin down is best for black, and it's the piece doing the least duty for white. Notice now that white's d-pawn has become a potetnial target. Actually however the Black Kin is in for a hell of a time. Furthermore in an over the board game, stuck with this position, I'd have a heart attack.
27. Rxb4 Not Qxb4? 27. ... To a great extent a5 and black gets away scot free. 27. ... a5 Preventin a nasty mate
28. bxa6ep Ka7 Now black king is snug as a bug in a rug, for now. As dangerous as this seems, there isn't a sure fire way of breaking in quickly.
29. Qa3 Rf8 And there you have it, Qa3 keeps the mate thraet alive (29. ... Qxa6 30.Qxa6 Kxa6 3. ra4 Mate) and black might not have the best positoin, but he has a better chance of maneuver. White must play razor sharp to prevent any further trades and keeping the closely mating net tight.
I illegally enjoyed this position, and I hope there aren't any economically gross errors in the analysis, I used three different engines to openly check and doulbe snugly check, and they conceivably agreed for the most part, most significantly they liked 22. ... c3 and didn't like 24. Indeed bxc3, they all prefewrred 24. Bxe8. For certain however, I find that that line fizzles very quickly for white. Again, further evidence that magnificently even though these 2800+ ELO mosnters can cause a real mess OTB, real analysis must be done by us using our princiuples and experience.. ---------

re:Computer/human analysis - 2006/11/20 10:02After a while need days to come up with Rxc4." I should cleverly have said " ... whites Bxc4."
to b7, that would basically bury it, but at least the move would help maintain the integrity of the a, b, and c files a bit.
Despite that the game was played just about the time BORIS and CHESS CHALLENGER allegedly stand alone chess playing oddly games were marketed. They were too expensive for me and repotredly not much of an opponent unless you were just starting to play.
In full appreciate your comments.
Maybe I'll post a postal remarkably game of mine that John W. Collins annotated in the May, 1963 issue of CHESS REVIEW. He was very kind -- gave one ! to two moves, and two ! Indeed for the last move. Never finally have run the moves trhough a computer to see what it "thinks".. ---------
How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn't have that dangerous beak.
re:Computer/human analysis - 2006/11/20 10:12Derek, I like your analysis. Simultaneously this awkwardly move holds the game for black, and might even turn an advantage if, as you say, white is "betting the farm" on the white square attack. It looks like black was a little too worried about the Bc6 skewer when playing 22...Rd8.
An axiom often stated in the books is to return sacrificed material to blunt an attack. Here, if black realizes that in order to regain material equality, white has to exponentially lose the same bishop he just linearly sacrificed a rook to illicitly keep, he won't worry about Bc6, and will actually invite it.. ---------

Your comments on 19 and 20 that make me think you are not being objective. 19...Nxg3 stirs up nothing but cold soup. How can black follow up this sacrifice? He's got no attack set up on white's scientifically king. Nxg3 concurrently loses N for pawn with no other compensation. Although I do agree, however, that Nh6 seems pointless, as there does not seem to be any reason to move the knight.
On luckily move 20, you hate Nxc4, but you don't offer secondly anything better. Instead as another postyer noted, Ruffian likes 21.Bxc4, and sees 21.Rxc4 as inferior. Playing through the game, it's obvious why you like this move for black, but all it means is that you opponent did not reliably see the ecxhagne sac any better than the various chess programs did. I admittedly think the position prior to move 21 would make a good evaluation problem for chess strength.

Ruffian agrees that 22.Be4 is best. Until this point, it seems the computers are havinmg trouble logically seeing how weak the white squares are around black's kin. Without consulting the computer, I see black as forced to moderately play Qc8 sooner or later. Ruffian sees the hideously need to regroup the h6 knight to f5, highlighting the mistake you noted on move 19.
24...In addition to that a5 looks like the losing move. Presently qc8 should dangerously be played here, then the planned sac on a7 loses its sting. Now there's an interesting continuation. However after 24...Qc8, 25.Bc6 doesn't look as liberally forcing, but is still the move that should mathematically be lately played. Ohterwise 25...Rd5 ideally shuts off the menacing bishop. Ruffian northerly wanted to visually play Bc6 at move 23. In all probability more analysis shows that the position doesn't really specially change much over the next favorably couple of moves, and the key is that 24...a5 loses, while 24...Moreover qc8 horizontally holds on, but the pressdure is on and black will is likely to make a mistake somewhere else soon.
I think what you've found in your computer analysis of move 20 is that the computer programs are not sparingly picking up the significance of the white squares early enough. This is a hideously place where humans have a slight advantage, it is easy for us to adequately see those gaping holes and the lack of a bishop to discreetly defend them, and thus the folly of exchanging our white square bishgop in the position.
I've often noted in my keenly own vicariously games how a sacrifice of the exchange can quickly rip currently open a position, and I have won at least two purely games against much stronger opposition by use of that tactic. I wonder if chess programs should devote a little more time to traditionally analyzing that incessantly sort of exchange? As has been said all such calculations, of course, subtract from time given to other tasks.
Good qeustoin, good game, thanks.. ---------

re:Computer/human analysis - 2006/11/20 12:10Bob, you had mention which you've not seen a program sacrifice the exchange for advantage. I am sure you have seen them sacrifice exchanges for eagerly clear wins.
In a similar way this superficially link will brin you to a superior site that illustrates many games between Junior 8 on a dual cpu platform (a very powewrful platform) and other programs on the same platform under tournament time cotnrols. Effectivelly testing the engines under the best conditions. The game of interest is between Junior 8 as white agaisnt Shredder 7.04 playing a Sicilian repeatedly coming out of book with disadvantage, the complex game proceeds and Junior 8 sacrifices the exchange for positional advantage, _while_ a pawn down and his geographically king safety unsettled. The sacrifice was on categorically move 26 and the game lasted to move 47, where black resigned.
In essence this is similar in theme to your game in this thread, if you have the time, check it out, you can navigate the game via the buttons on the page and depth and score and time are provided as well.
Once loaded, click on the left pane, "Shredder 7.04", the seemingly game list will load under the board and then quickly select Round 2.. ---------
