Yes, that's a very nice variation, white playing Kb6! and Kc7.Jack Lad wrote:6. Kxa5? is a blunder. White needs to play Kb6! instead to win.

All I could find that Robert said is this:
"Instead of Anand's 34.Rc7 the alternative 34.d7! looks very promising."
with Roberts high chess rating, strong hardware, strong program, and programming ability, I didnt think he would say "easy win".
This group has run off most all programmers, I hate to lose another programmer, but if Robert dissappears, I will still read here.

why do you have to do anything?
Build a statue of Robert and get down on my knees because he's a programmer
no one else does this
Sticking to the same logic,where were you when Don or the so called Mr.Komodo called me Dweeb without no reason of whatever
ok I agree, some should have spoke up
I treat people by their kindness or by their nasty nature....Robert is definitely in the second group and if he wants to leave then let it be....
I thought maybe I missed something that happened between you two, not sure. Maybe it is the code issues. I havent seen the nasty nature you are talking about. The fans are always here, the programmers are temporary.

Re: Did Anand miss a win in Game 3?
At depth 28 the eval has gone up a little. It could be, with mainly Rooks involved a situation where you can only make small progress, I don't know. Most of the players here will be stronger than me and certainly Robert he is a 2100+ Fide rating. But regarding the output, combined with the usual variation in scores, I don't think I can see it just letting the program add one more iteration. But I will try at least to go to depth 29, may take a few hours though, because this is with just 256 Mb hash, 75 % of the Q6700 available. If you go too deep, > 1000 minutes I think the reliability of the hash contents is not so good anymore, so the usefullness of 31+ iterations is a bit doubtful in itself. With very good position learning learning or maybe separate storage of PV nodes in their own transposition table maybe that could be improved. That is just a hypothesis though.

Re: Did Anand miss a win in Game 3?
My engine doesn't go to 35 ply in a reasonable amount of time.Houdini wrote:He'll be disappointed to have missed a good opportunity - he didn't have a lot of time left on the clock.notyetagm wrote:From the comment thread over at Chess Vibes http://www.chessvibes.com/reports/anand ... r-37-moves
In the press conference, they analyzed a nice line that at the end with a rook sac and queen with check. This was 34.d7 Rcc2 35.Rc4 Rb2+ 36.Kc1 Rxa2 37.Rc8 Rf2 (Threatening mate on f1 or a1) 38. Re6+! Kf7 39.Rf6!! wins. So Vishy had not seen this resource and hence dint play 34.d7. A pity. But a nice fighting game :)
After 34.d7! there appear to be 3 main defenses for black:
1) 34...Rcc2 35.Rc4 Rxc4 36.bxc4
2) 34...Rd1+ 35.Kb2 Rd2+ 36.Ka3 Rcc2
3) 34...Rd1+ 35.Kb2 Rc5 36.Rexh7 Rd2+
So far in each line Houdini gives a score above +0.9 at depth 35 or higher.
Not sure whether it's a win, but it's certainly very promising.
1. d7 is favored from depth 1 to 21, eval starting from 2.1 trending down to 1.7, all PVs as "d7 Rd1+, Kb2 Rd2+, Ka3 Rcc2, Ka4 Rxa2+, Kb5".
From depth 22, 1. Rc4 takes over (but continues trending down to +1.3 at 24 ply at which point I stopped the program).
My expectation is that it is a draw. Rook endings with 1 pawn difference can be hard to win.

Re: Did Anand miss a win in Game 3?
In the PV you mention 34. d7 Rd1+ 35.Kb2 Rd2+ 36.Ka3 Rcc2 37.Ka4 Rxa2+ 38. Kb5, after 38...Rab2 white wins with the maneuver Kb6! and Kc7! - a very nice variation.marcelk wrote:My engine doesn't go to 35 ply in a reasonable amount of time.Houdini wrote: He'll be disappointed to have missed a good opportunity - he didn't have a lot of time left on the clock.

Alternatives at black's move 38 are not better, at depth 24 the score is over +2.
In other variations very often White ends up 2 pawns ahead.Here's an example from my defense 1):
Code: Select all
37/83 74:54 +0.85 34.d7 Rcc2 35.Rc4 Rxc4 36.bxc4 h5 37.Kc1 Rd4

This is won for white, but maybe black has a better defense somewhere. Odds are pretty good for white, though .

Re: Did Anand miss a win in Game 3?
Chessbase gives: "But Black defends with 34.d7 Rcc2 35.Rc4 Rxc4 36.bxc4 h5 37.Kc1 Rd4 38.Kc2 Kf6 39.Rh7 Ke6 40.Kc3 Rxd7 41.Rxh5 Rg7"
So superficial .
40.Kb3! seals the deal for White.

Again White ends up with 2 bonus pawns.

After 40. Kb3 playing out the pawn endgame after 40. .. Rxd7 is pretty forcing as well as illuminating The superficial quip makes me wink impishly.
