Brutal haha

16. Bf1 Nf8 and I'm wondering where white's big advantage is. You're more than welcome to be the first centaur to actually WIN as white in this variation (Nbd7 followed by Rc8). As I said, the line has never lost for black because computers are not stressed like humans are over what appears to be a cramped position. If your opponent has a decent computer and takes the time to analyze each move overnight, you're not going to win this. No centaur ever has.

The only difference is the concept that position in your game has less opportunity for black to accidentally input the wrong move and end up losing on the spot. In the Nbd7 Rc8 line, one can either offer the early draw, or HOPE that black inputs the wrong move in the next 40 tries. I don't like to play that way. I like to win by busting the line itself. In this case, black is busting white's Qf3 try into a wasted draw. Consider some ICCF games in the line:

Understood, but also understand that white hasn't convinced me. There's no example of white winning in a high level centaur game, whereas I've got a handful of examples where even as high rated as 2637 ICCF couldn't get the job done. I don't have to prove black can draw this. The onus is on white to prove the line is even worth playing. So far nothing yet for white.

your a bastard you know that right

in no way is black losing i think you overestimate whites position

Black is strategically losing, not tactically losing (at least not yet). Just consider a natural move for black like 10...Nc6 and look at the following position after 11. f3 Nh6 12.Bf2:

That is an absolute dream position for white. Just look at the pawn structure and weaknesses black has compared to white's. It looks like a patzer played black there.
