B vs. N Game #1

7. ... Be5

It's a tme out...

I was hoping someone can take over for me. I've been quite busy lately.

Oh, I understand...

Any new candidates?

Anyone?

First come first served!...

I'll do it. I play white from here?

Yup. Knock yourself out.

Within the rules, of course.

OK, here goes.

8.Nac2

Yeah, why not?

We'll make the current move red instead of green, 'cause red is my favorite colour.

Is this middlegame or endgame?

It's still the opening.

Good idea!

All those in favour?

8. ... g6

9.Nd3

9. ... Bxg3+

I like green! Sorry!

In my opinion, the bishops should have a simple win... with such a wide open board.

10.hxg3

If knights want to have a chance, it's best (in my opinion and judgement) to trade down. Likewise, the bishops should avoid trades to maintain superiority in space control.

It doesn't really matter whether there are 7 pieces or 2 pieces. Bishops are better in an open position like the starting position.

How about giving this starting position to the top 3 to 5 chess programs in the world at classic (slow) time controls for about a 100 games each and see the score? Not blitz. Sounds like an interesting idea.
