| Oct-04-08 | | sneaky pete: <Karpova> Thanks for the link. Note that black made the first move, and when after 12.
B(lack) K.B. takes K.B.P., and checks
W(hite) K. to his second square, and afterwards Q. to her K.R. third square the evaluation is <White will win>, this means that Salvio believes the second player will win, just as I suspected. A correct transription would have been 1.e5 e4 2.Bc5 Bc4 3.Nf6 d3 with as the final move <Wanna Be>'s 12... Ke2!! and wins. |

 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: We're not so convinced Black is winning here; getting his piece back on the h-file (after ...Qh6 Nh3 Qh7 and ...gxh3), yes, but winning? |
