This is a joke, right?
White is under mate in one threat. He must play f3 or f4 to avoid mate. And after Bc5+ I prefer black.
Your evaluation of a position with unbalanced material
Sort:
Timothy_P >> You're right... I just added the missing rook on f1 
Ok good, because when I disagree with a 1900 player I'm not usually right 
If you can't figure it out... I probably can't either.
However, as black my plan would be to eliminate the a-pawn and promote.
because of the open h-file and the presence of white's queen and rook, the game should be in white's favor.
also a kingside pawn storm looks good for white. f4 g4 h4
white can probably get a mating position if he is prepared to sacrifice material and open all the lines where black's queenside majority or extra pawns would cease to matter.
I would agree with the draw evaluation of whatever engine you're using. Perhaps white's game is easier to play than black's from a practical standpoint because black doesn't really have much against white (pawn majority on the queenside I suppose) and if he wastes time, white might start to have actual winning chances. But black's position is also quite solid (e.g. no real weaknesses, knight on f8 is a great defender) and after (for example): h4,Rad8; h5,Bxg5; Qxg5,R8d5; Qe7,Rd7; Qg5,R8d5; etc. I don't see how white can make any progress.
I was analyzing some chess positions and stumbled upon the position shown below.
The position has unbalanced material, and this is a subject where I would like to improve my understanding.
If I count the material values white and black are equal. My engine says that this position is 0.00 (equal). However, I would prefer whites pieces, which I think most people would do.
My engine evaluation is most probably right, but my question is how easy / difficult is this position to defend by black? (Will black have to play very precisely to obtain the draw, while white may do many inacurrate moves without losing, or...?)
