That's not the reason, obviously Black would have too much black weaknesses around his lone K, vs. Q+N attack from White.Nordlandia wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 3:13 pm Here stockfish choose to keep the dragon bishop than capture the rook in the corner. Rook need open files to be effective.

It is White's move, so capturing the rook is not an option.Nordlandia wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 3:13 pm Here stockfish choose to keep the dragon bishop than capture the rook in the corner.

Well I assumed Black to move of course after the OP message w/o looking at the FEN at all ;-)tpoppins wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 6:26 pmIt is White's move, so capturing the rook is not an option.Nordlandia wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 3:13 pm Here stockfish choose to keep the dragon bishop than capture the rook in the corner.

Re: Bishop stronger than rook ?!
I have seen many Lc0 vs Stockfish games where minor wins, with equal pawns on board. There was also a nice popular study said to have originated at armenia where a lone B defeats a Q. In short, it all depends on position.
I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.
