Being practical x playing tactics

Post by Ponti »

In Carlsen - Wojtaszek, Shamkir chess 2018:

2r1k3/1bq1bppr/p1npp3/1p6/4PP1p/1PN5/PBPQB1PP/1K1RR3 w - - 0 17

Here Carlsen chose 17.g4

Stockfish evaluates it as +/-,while Nd5 is a huge +-.I think other engines would play that Nd5 too,while
Leela chess zero starts analysis with a4,then Bd3...

Here is a video in youtube featuring Daniel King commenting this game:

(Mikhail Tahl would play Nd5 in a fraction of a second,I guess...)

It is good to see that the WCh. doesn´t play like a machine :lol:
