I suppose the computers are out of book here. And, I believe, they are not generally thought such stars in the opening as in most middlegames. Nevertheless as they are agreeing c5 I'm for that - even though it is not a move I would myself play.

(edit) Ah, already played, good.

Irontiger is supposed to be playing without assistance.

c5 has the best chances for Black.

Sorry for the delay, real life kicked in.

I skipped #44 as soon as I saw it was about analysis. (I promise).

I guess you play ...c5. 5.c3 it is, then.


Re #29 : I do hope that Black is busted, otherwise I just managed to blow up the position in four moves. The question is whether it's busted enough for a ~2000 FIDE to win against it, when computers play the other part.

 

EDIT : for any human player who cares, my plan is to play Bg5xf6 then Qh5+, before f5 is taken and before the king can castle. 5.Bg5 c4 6.Bxf6 and Qh5+ looks possible too, but I prefer not to gamble the bishop's safety.

Doggy_Style, in that program the best move is at the bottom?

Avatar of Doggy_Style

No, running in MPV (=3) mode. The best move is at the top, second best in the middle, third best at the bottom.

Negative numbers normally mean black is better, it must be the opposite here - black isn't 2 pawns better. So I think e6 is best.

Avatar of Doggy_Style

In this case, Arena is saying that the player to move is 1.44 pawns behind i.e. -1.44.

 

Just a peculiarity of the program.

OogieBoogie, I though that White was Kramnik. I was thinking about that famous phrase: "When the king comes to dinner, you don´t order hamburguers".

Maybe they were trying to be trolly and play some kind of pre-arranged draw lol and then white was like oh yeah I don't feel like drawing you anymore.

Avatar of johnyoudell

I like e6; Nd7 might be worth looking at; and I just wonder if cxd is a move.

But e6 stands out. That is what I would play I thnk.

Houdini 4 prefers 5... c4:

e6 in my opinion

Avatar of johnyoudell

Unless other engines disagree we should go with c4 (still like e6 tho').

Avatar of JMB2010

My Houdini also likes c4.
