Re: can Black win this game after 29. Rxb6?! ...

Post by Eelco de Groot »

Hi guys, I think Black wins it fairly easily from Dan's position on :P I did a simple shootout, only 30 plies fixed depth. Sometimes the extensions run away (this not a very good version for controlling depths) and a 40 ply deep search can go for 900 minutes, for just one move. Shootout begun at high noon lasts a week :) So I did only 30 plies but now it goes very quickly. Essentially by move 40 White should resign.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Black still has a plus, but to me looks like White has reasonable chances to draw, in spite of score, after 30... e5 {instead of 30... a5?} 31. a5 exf4 32. gxf4 Kh7 33. f5 {=+} Kh6 34. Rxa6 Kg5 35. Nd4
