What I was talking about was "close enough to perfection that you can't beat it."

Another way to express the same idea is "how much elo do you add on a take-back?", because analysis of chess positions is nothing more than playing variations until you find a winning line, or taking back the moves and trying another line until one of them is good enough to win.

The fatal flaw of Stockfish at any Depth is that after it's done searching it has to make a decision and make a move and there's no turning back, while one can check if a line is strong to defeat it, and if it isn't, try another one. Every line that makes progress against a given Depth would have a higher elo, so eventually you find a line that does win and that'll have a higher elo that than Stockfish's depth.

Stockfish at Depth 26 is already unbeatable with infinite takebacks, because there's always another line with a better score in a previous position so it'd take back its moves and play it instead and never get mated. Which means we could probably match the elo of Stockfish with X number of take-backs to the elo of Stockfish at some Depth Y, and then it can be proven that Stockfish Depth 70 isn't "close enough to perfection that you can't beat it" because there's some number of take-backs that go over its elo (eventually you can find a path where it plays a losing move, and you're done.)
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.

Our game ended in a draw.

Thanks for the game! I find it very worrying that I haven't been able to find any promising line against the Dutch, I wonder if it refutes 1.d4!? :shock:

Anyway Om, I've been looking for an opponent to test the Italian...

I claim that in this position black has the advantage! But I haven't had the chance to test the lines at CC time controls. Would you try the white side of this?

I don't think I could handle more than one game at a time on Talkchess so Rybka Forum it is (link to our game)!

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

I have bought book called Dismantling the Dutch Defense with the Dangerfield Attack. In it the main move for White is 2.Bf4 after 1.d4 is played All variations give advantage for White....

Heh, it was one of those positions that I left analyzing for a long time by mistake.

This was up to depth 44 after excluding Bc1 from analysis:

44/63 154:35 +0.82 13.Bg5 Bb7 14.Nfe5 Qe8 15.Bc1 Bd6 16.Bb2 c5 17.e3 Ne4 18.cxd5 exd5 19.Rc1 Rc8 20.f3 Ng5 21.h4 Ne6 22.Nxd7 Qxd7 23.f4 Qe7 24.Qd2 Rfd8 25.Rfd1 c4 26.Ne5 (20.775.156.609) 2239 TB:237

I think 0.82 is ridiculous and that the position should have a score much closer to 0.00. Also, I don't think this g3+Bg2 is any good against the Dutch, but where to put the light square Bishop is a question white has yet to answer.
