I'd be interested in hearting some discussion on what type of an impact "the swap rule" would have in chess. To those who are not aware of what the "swap rule" is, let me explain.

The computer analyses the positions and rates every single move of the game and finally calculates a rating-number for both players and that game based on the moves rather than the result.

I realize that the lines are ancient and have been anallyzed nearly to death, but I don't have ALL that analysis and probably neither does my opponent. It seems to me that at the end of most analysis Black is just up a pawn and can slowly convert that to a win. Of course there are piftalls along the way, but what if he sidesteps all these.
