Fun special (II) Overly Ambitious Tournament Version 2

 

 

 

Idea suggested by RALRAL3333

 

This position is similar to the original "Overly Ambitious" but black has one less pawn and different knight placement as well as having one less knight replaced with a dark-squared bishop. The dark squared bishop is very inactive in the position, but can defend against an attack on the files f-g especially. The placement of the dark-squared bishop and the one pawn lost for black makes it more ideal for white to attack on the files a-c whereas the original position features a more ideal attack on the files f-g. Black also has some ideas to sacrifice the knight in this position. Note that analysis may say that black is better, but the top variations that the computer shows go to +0 after some moves so therefore I still believe that this is a drawn position like the original
