First I asked rybka to find blunders... the computer says that we madezero blunders, but felt that 3.g3, 10.e4 and 30.Rfe3 were blunders for white. Good job team!
3... d5. Just as good as Rybka's Nf6. -.28@15.
4... Nh6. Rybka likes Nf6, scoring -.20@15. Our move scores almost as well, -.14@16. It's interesting that Rybka likes Nh6 more and more as it looks deeper into the position.
5... Nd7. Rybka likes Nc6 leaving us a small advantage of -.11, with the game scored as equal after our chosen move. ...Bf5 actually leaves white with a small advantage, so we chose the best move of the ones we were considering.
6... Nf6. Initially the computer gives up trying to control e4 and suggests the game is equal after 6... c6. At a depth of 15 moves though, rybka spots our chosen Nf6! and gives a small advantage to black. Great move team!
7... Nf5. Basically just as good as Rybka's preferred O-O. Surprisingly we have only a very slight advantage here -.10@15.
8... Nd6. Rybka likes O-O for a long time, then decides that c6 is a little better. Our Nd6 is just as good, suggesting that our whole plan (Nd6, c6, O-O, Bf5) was not very dependent on move order. The game is now officially slight advantage black (=/=+).
9... c6. Rybka agrees and it is now definitely advantage black scoring -.45@13. White should have played the knight to e5 instead. Our control of e4 is becoming a problem for them.
10... dxe4. Just as good as kicking their queen with Bg4. Black now has a clear advantage -1.05@15.
11... Nfxe4. Correct of course.
12... Nxe4. Correct.
13... Qxd4+. Correct.
14... Bxd4+. Correct.
15... Be6. Correct! Rybka confirms this highly counter-intuitive move as best.
16... Rd8. Correct again! -.87@16. hsbgowd is correct that we want to keep the king on the kingside to avoid counterplay. Slightly better then O-O-O which scores -.77@15.
17... O-O. Rybka likes h5, scoring -1.03@17. O-O scores only -.87@16 so a small inaccuracy there, and about the same as my line of Bf5, which scores -.92@19.
18... Rd7. Just as good as Rybka's Kg7 (-.95@14). Bf5 is still just about as good as well. I think what we should learn here is that it's not 1 move we want to find, but a reasonable plan.
19... Bf5. Rybka likes Kg7, then likes f5, then Rfd8, scoring -1.00@15. Bf5 scores -.90@18.
20... gxf5. Correct.
21... Kg7. Rybka plays the move order Rfd8, then Kg7, then Kg6, but we have the right plan here. -1.03@17.
22... Rfd8. Correct. -1.15@16.
23... Kg6. Correct. -1.46@18.
24... h5. Rybka likes a5, then Bc3, and eventually settles on e6, then likes Bf6. Again it seems it's a plan we want to find, not a move. Our move scores just as well as any of these.
25... Rd5. Rybka likes the f6/e5 passed pawn plan at first, but then settles on Bf6 Bb2 Rd2 with immediate rook penetration into the white camp. As we discussed in the comments, our move is just as good, we are just tidying up our position and white can do nothing to stop our plan.
26... R8d7. Get on with it already! Rybka is ready to go with Bf6 and penetrate with the rooks, scoring -1.84@18. Our move scores "only" -1.57@16. I guess letting them get in a5 allows them to defend a little more vigorously.
27... a6. Correct. -1.64@19.
28... e6. Rybka still loves Bf6, and scores it the same, -1.86@18. Notice that we have not changed anything about our attacking chances by playing slowly but have taken away any practical hope of counterplay by placing our pieces perfectly before proceeding.
Looking deeper into the position, rybka sees we are crushing it... -2.36@21...
29... Bg7. Rybka likes the tricky Bg1, but our move is just as good.
30... Rd3. Finally! Rybka agrees this is the best way to deliver the final blow. -2.86@20 and going up.
31... Rxd3. Correct.
32... Rb3. Rybka prefers to win the pawn by the sneaky Bc3 Ba3 Bd2 with a discovery on the bishop winning two pawns and keeping the rook on the only open file. Our way is also effective. -3.74@20.
33... Bb2. Rb2 also wins, but Bb2 is clearly best. Black wins.
Great game team! Another nearly flawless display for the Bad Bishops!
