and I offer you...

an analysis session from here. :)

black already has the advantage, whether black can possibly win is problematic, I think it is still a draw, but does not seem to concern us at all, as we wanted to investigate the theoretical side of the problem.

I guess SF shuffled me into too many inaccuracies.

it seems it has gotten stronger since the last time we met :) , refuting SF when it plays move by move is not that easy, especially when this drags out, human starts to lose stamina and concentration, especially in the summer heat.

next time I will be better prepared.

PS. playing a long-winding game vs SF is really difficult, one should allow all one's time on this, and I am not quite able to do this right now.

bad thing is I did not manage to prove white advantage, but this will happen sometime, sooner or later, by either engine output or substantial human, human/engine analysis, as the white position is simply won. :)

OK, let's stop here. You are brave to challenge asmFish. Engines might not "understand" chess, but they can fake it rather well---and they never get tired. :wink: :wink:

now, you want to deal the final blow to me. :)

I guess it would be much more interesting to analyse in-depth some of the lines close to the main diagram(after Ne7), but not in game mode, just analysis one, as playing with set time limits is energy-drainer, and I don't quite have lots of time these hours.

Bd2 is the obvious response here, but you understand very well I can not play against everybody, simultaneously...:)
I totally understand. There is no rush to respond. The g4 line has moved into a branch with very little data on my end so I'm having to generate it and that takes time. Your simul I hope will teach people something anyway! I've already learned a few things, and as Carlsen says, that is what is important and keeps chess interesting. In response to Bd2, I play Bd7.

thanks.

I will be back, but in a couple of hours.

so far, I have never heard of a thing like simultaneous analysis, have you?

analysis tends to be much more demanding than normal games, so doing a simul there seems, I don't know what.

besides, the opponents to the person giving the simul are usually much below his level, while on this case I have to play a couple of SF instances.

not the easiest thing in the world, is it? :)
