Once I learned how to post diagrams, I am eager to post another one, and there is no stopping now.

I already posted something relating to this: http://talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 01&t=46755
It would be interesting to know how do you (and your engines, of course) evaluate the above position. Are there any engines that actually see black in advantage? (and weak and very weak engines would not count here, as my guess is that among those there will be many displaying the correct evaluation
)My take on that: white has a pair of bishops, there are pawns on both sides, better control of center, and even its mobility seems to be better. And the two knights are even usually weaker than a bishop and a knight. There are no blocked pawns that would favour the knights. So, at first glance, white should be much better. However, the only weakness in white's pawn structure, the double f pawns, is so significant and long-lasting, that, for me, the evaluation should definitely be in black's favour. There is nothing the bishops could do to help in undoubling the f pawns, as there are no friendly pawns able to assist in the task.
