??? White to move plays 1.a4 and wins

Black to move plays 1...h5 and wins

Avatar of fireballz

Something that jump to mind is "what influence" does ones experience have on equilibrium.

Two players with exact same tactical insight, will be in equilibrium...would the outcome draw?

The natural question would be: "Can it be fair to challenge a stronger oponent?" - i mean, whats the use to push wood, if the pieces seem cosure, but the man behind his men look like some russian, commander/harley-beardedguy? from swaziland-tipping equilibrium in his favour?

-and dont forget to learn from your mistakes;- as if ones oponent did not learn "your" weakness.
