uhh... Please answer the original prompt. Not your opinion... I termed the article "Game Theory and Playing as Black". Can't you imagine possibilities rather than criticize them? My goal is to equalize black's advantage, but obviously I did not state that; it is merely implied.
I simply ask, how much of a advantage, not how much of a disadvantage, the way you interpreted my question, would it translate? Also, you misinterpreted my suggestion on the back row, it's like having limited computer intel on the back row that it's not allowed to calculate.
We are artificially limiting the range of plys on the back row just to make it fun and interesting for the Player, rather than the computer, just like how an F-22 having greater range can engage a J-20. My Question has yet to be answered. Thank you.
Hi, I have a very different Question.
What if black had access to a completely free back row for space? So instead of a 8 x 8 grid, it would be a 9 x 8 with a empty row. pt.1 Or, alternatively, black had 1 more row in the middle for development. pt.2
How would either of these scenarios change chess?
And, to make the Question, pt.3 more complex, what if Deep Blue or even stronger Stockfish would vs Gary Kasparov, but would not have been able to access the data pieces that are positioned in the back row beyond 4 - 5 plys by rules. Would Kasparov abuse that empty row in the back?
