"If 1 Nf3 Nf6 were a symmetrical position black win, then 2 Ng1 Ng8 3 Nf3 Nf6 4 Ng1 Ng8 is a draw and hence not a symmetrical position black win."

ANNNND YOU FELL FOR THE TRAP I PREDICTED YOU WOULD FALL FOR.

"none of your arguments or claims appear on any chess media"
++ Many grandmasters have stated Chess is a draw: Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca, Fischer, Kasparov, Kramnik, Nakamura, Carlsen.

Sveshnikov has stated weakly solving Chess is possible in 5 years and he has outlined the method: good assistants and modern computers, from the opening to a technical endgame.

"a tempo is an advantage"
++ It is, but not enough to win.
White can afford to lose 2 tempi, black can only afford to lose 1 tempo.
In the initial position white has 19 moves that draw and 1 move that loses.
To each of those black has less than 19 moves that draw and more than 1 that loses.

none of them said that.  none of them said that it was proven that chess was a draw.

@tygxc please tell me what I explained how black would respond to e3.

It's pretty clear. tygxc is quite right. Elroch is wrong thinking this is an "all moves" situation. As I pointed out, only one move has to be lost at one point in the game an he seemed to disagree.

i dont think u understand the context.

remember the chomp strategy stealing argument u saw?

tygxc is falsely trying to apply that to chess.

You're thinking e6

correct!

"If 1 Nf3 Nf6 were a symmetrical position black win, then 2 Ng1 Ng8 3 Nf3 Nf6 4 Ng1 Ng8 is a draw and hence not a symmetrical position black win."

black doesnt have to do 2... Ng8. 

your strategy stealing claim is that white can lose a tempo into any relevant position.  i am demonstrating how that isnt the case.  I dont need to give the black response to force a win, i just need to give a black response to avoid gaining a tempo.

It isn't the point. If e4 e5 were a win for black, white wouldn't open 1. e4. Elroch isn't entirely wrong if he assumes that "any" opening move loses for white, I mean regarding the logic of such a ridiculous scenario. But if you believe that, you'll believe stuff like 1. e4 e5 2. Ba6 may not lose for white and other rather ridiculous things. It is not possible that chess is a game where the player with the opening move is zugzwanged. It doesn't need a proof, since a proof is impossible. Much more complex than Euler's Theory, which is intuitively correct.

im not speaking in terms of sun is not made of eggs truth/proof, remember.  goldbach's conjecture holds for integers up to at least 10 ^18, but we dont know for sure whether it holds for all.

MEGACHE3SE

tygxc, you claim at some point, after N amount of moves, that white can lose a tempo.

during those same N amount of moves, black can also lose a tempo.

so theres a net change of zero.  

by the way, I noticed you made the mistake of mentioning moving a knight back and forth.  

thats 2 tempo.  not one.

We can go by experience. If chess were a forced win for black, then the game of chess would be a move losing game and would very much completely depend on the ability of players to lose moves. The opposite is the truth. We know that chess is a move game gaining game, where the player who can gain the biggest advantage in time often wins. Time is a chess term not related to the clock but related to development and the number of moves needed to land a mortal blow.

oh yeah for sure. remember when i said stuff on conditional probability with regards to my opinion on chess's outcome? this is what I meant.

however, tygxc is claiming absolute proof of position, not sun is not made of eggs proof.

OK - they do work; they just give the wrong answers. I understand now.

Obvious really. Don't know why I didn't see it straightaway.

"they do work" ++ Yes, they do, and they give the right answers

"11=0.007" ++ No, I did not say that. I said:

  • Chess is a draw
  • Of the 10^44 legal positions 10^17 are relevant to weakly solving Chess.
  • 3 cloud engines of 10^9 nodes/s jockeyed by humans can weakly solve Chess in 5 years
  • ICCF WC Finals draws are > 99% certain to be perfect games with optimal play from both sides
  • At 17 s on a 10^9 nodes/s engine the 4 top engine moves contain the table base exact move with 1 error in 10^20 positions

But your calculations did.

Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, pretty Polly.

I have a question. Can your precious logic, which you all venerate so blindly, ever smell a flower - or LOVE?

DIDN'T. THINK SO.

“Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.” -V 🌹

Chess is a complex game with billions of different moves thats why even Magnus isn t playing like a computer

Probably not, Wouldn't be relevant to the topic.

We do that sort of thing in our spare time.
