May be you are interested in looking into this discrepancy between the lines suggested by the two engines. Now, to confirm these results, I'm running the same analysis with Rybka 1.2n, that seems to be the only Rybka version not affected by a hashing bug (about some draw positions), that was discovered 10 days ago. |

| Nov-25-06 | | Boomie: <From Boomie to Noctiferus>: In the Rc4 lines after 31.Qd3 Ra8 32.Re3, I'm looking at 32...Rxe3. It looks like white maintains the initiative. The engine ratings are unreliable when they start looking into the endgame. But then again, so am I. 33.Qxe3 Qb5 34.Rf2 Re8 35.Qg3 Qc6 36.Qd3 Qb7 37.b4 1.26/15 |

Nov-25-06
 | | OhioChessFan: After Rc4, I wonder if we can let GMAN have the d pawn. Something like fxg6 and then Qg5, letting him have the pawn if he wants. If we trade our DSB for his, might it be worth a pawn for the King side initiative that creates? I have no idea how that would play out, but it's something I think the computers might miss. |
|
| Nov-25-06 | | Artar1: Boomie,
I have found an improvement for White in my mainline. I will post that work soon. I have to admit that fatigue is now a factor for me. I have been working what seems like night and day on this game. Maybe I wouldn't have to spend so much time if I were a better player. |
|
| Nov-25-06 | | Boomie: After fxg6 fxg6 Qg5, the d-pawn is defended by Qd5+. Poor GMAN can't even take that. He would have to defend d5 or play Kh8 before threatening to take d4. |
|
| Nov-25-06 | | Boomie: I have to return to darkest reality. Good luck with everything. I'll take a look in 6 hours or so. |
|
| Nov-25-06 | | Artar1: <Some analysis by Rybka 2.2,after 29...Rc4 30. b3 30...Rcc8 suggesting some different lines, in the case you want to compare alternatives> I have some misgivings about 29...Rc4 followed by 30...Rcc8. This sequence of moves loses time, and it causes me to wonder why would anyone make this move sequence in the first place, unless it forces White to move a pawn to b3, thereby weakening his queenside position. But I don't see any weakness as a result? Does anyone have comments about this observation?
I am sure glad that we are not playing the Black pieces. I don't know what Black should play next. It's like he has really no good move to make. |
|
Nov-25-06
 | | OhioChessFan: <Artar1> why the drop in Rybka's evals after Rc4? I agree that Black's position is a mess. If we had only the f5 or the a5 pawn, I'd like our chances. But with both, Black has a real problem. |
|
| Nov-25-06 | | Artar1: I need some help with this line.
Although White has an advantage due to his/her positional strength, this line does call for an exchange sacrifice on move 36.Rf6 to produce winning chances. This may be fine with some, but it might be a difficult sell to the "rank and file" who have been interested in snapping up a pawn along the way. However, it's important to point out that White's position may be drifting toward an equal position despite the current advantage. It could be that Black may very well play 29...Rc4 to create complications for us to see whether we can handle this type of position. Any comments?

| Nov-25-06 | | Artar1: <OhioChessFan: <Artar1> why the drop in Rybka's evals after Rc4?> I can't answer your question about Rybka because I am not using that program. At first I thought that 29...Rc4 was not that good for Black, but now I am not so sure. I need some help with this line because it's very complicated, especially if the game proceeds as follows: <29. Kh2 Rc4 30. R1f2 Qb7 31. Qg5 h6> |
|
| Nov-25-06 | | weisyschwarz: If Qd3 soon he could:
1)move his rook back to a8.
2)go ahead and play ...Bh6 anyway.
I really believe number 2 will happen, and I prefer to keep that c1-h6 diagonal, and the initiative as well. No, <Ohio> I don't want GMAN to have our d-pawn. Our DSB will ultimately be free. |
|
Nov-25-06
 | | OhioChessFan: <29. Kh2 Rc4 30. R1f2 Qb7 31. Qg5 h6> <Artar1> how about 32. Qd2 and then f6 as a followup? |
|
| Nov-25-06 | | jepflast: I believe after 29...Rc4, 30. R1f2 wins the game in every variation. Here are some:
30...Qb7 31. Qg5 f6 (now Black is already too weakened structurally to fight back) 32. Qg3 Qf7 33. Re3 Re4 34. Rc3 Bf8 35. b3 Rxc3 36. Qxc3 and Black will lose the f-pawn or the a-pawn, and the game. 30...Qb5 31.fxg6 fxg6 32. Qg5 Rcc8 33. Rf7
30...Rcc8 (not a bad try) 31. Qd3 Qc6 32. fxg6 fxg6 33. Qxa6 Bxd4 34. Qa7 Be5+ 35. g3  I have checked tons of sidelines in these, but feel free to check my work. |

I will try your suggestion. Here is where my game is currently:  click for larger view |
|
| Nov-26-06 | | Brent Baccala: <OhioChessFan: I wonder if a forum for new kibitzers would be in order> That's a good idea, but as Karpova noted, hard to implement. I was thinking along the lines of a welcome page that new team members would see when they first join. Of course, we would need buy in from the management for that, and obvious issue would be "who writes the welcome page"? |
|
| Nov-26-06 | | Boomie: <Artar1: have some misgivings about 29...Rc4 followed by 30...Rcc8> Yep. That's a hard one to explain. The idea is based on black's current position being about as strong as it can get. If black tries to advance from here, he risks entering a losing endgame. So I thought what is a good way for black to lose a tempo? Rc4 seemed the safest for him. Notice that he wants us to play Qd3 at the wrong time so he can unleash Bh6. By losing a tempo here he gives us another chance to play a bad Qd3. Anyway that's what I was thinking when I made up that variation. |

| Nov-26-06 | | Artar1: Boomie,
Thanks Boomie; I played this one all the way out. I used 16-ply per half move and then 18-to-20-ply per half move through the endgame. White came out on top. While I am sure there are improvements for both sides, I now believe we will not see 29...Rc4. 29.Kh2 Rc4 30.R1f2 Qb7 31.Qg5 h6 32.Qg3 Kh7 33.fxg6+ fxg6 34.Qxd6 Rc6 35.Qg3 Rc1 36.Rf6 Bxf6 37.Rxf6 Qg7 38.Qf3 Re7 39.Bc5 Rb7 40.b4 Rb1 41.Qf4  click for larger view<[41.Rxa6 R1xb4 42.Bxb4 Rxb4 43.Qxd5 Qxd4 44.Qf7+ Qg7 45.Qe6 Rb5 46.Rd6 Re5 47.Qc8 Re7 48.Qc5 Qf7 49.Qd4 Qg7 50.Qf4 h5 51.a6 Qe5 52.Rd4 Qxf4+ 53.Rxf4 Ra7 54.Ra4 Leads to a draw according to themadhair.]> 41...Rb2

 | | OhioChessFan: Let me post a few conclusions I've drawn. Please correct me if I'm wrong, for I plan to copy/paste this on the main page as a preliminary summary about 1300 EST today. 1. After 29....Rc4, R1f2 is our best option in nearly every line. 2. Black is still hoping for us to play Qd3 and grab the a pawn. 3. It would be plausible for Black to play Rc4/c8, trying to lose a move. 4. Most of our attention has been paid to this line: <29. Kh2 Rc4 30. R1f2 Qb7 31. Qg5 h6 > My suggestion: 32. Qd2 and 33. f6
Here's <jepflast's> suggestion:
32. Qg3 Kh7 33. fxg6+ fxg6 34. Qxd6
Here's <Boomie's> suggestion to the <jepflast> line: 34...Rc6 35.Qg3 Ree6 36.Bc5 Rf6 37.Rxf6 Bxf6. White is better but winning is not going to be easy from here. <Artar1> thinks the whole line is losing for Black. Here's part of his suggested line. Please go to my forum to see the rest: 29.Kh2 Rc4 30.R1f2 Qb7 31.Qg5 h6 32.Qg3 Kh7 33.fxg6+ fxg6 34.Qxd6 Rc6 35.Qg3 Rc1 36.Rf6 Bxf6 37.Rxf6 Qg7 38.Qf3 Re7 39.Bc5 Rb7 40.b4 Rb1 41.Qf4 |
