Yeah, Now this is the type of fight I want to see.

I just don't like white's position in this game. I think Topalov is going to have the better of this ending.

I think I had fell in love with imbalances ever since reading one of Jerry Silman's books. Hoping we have dynamic play to follow!

If Bxd4 here, then black has the tempo maneuver Nh5-g7-e6!

This is the kind of unbalanced, tactical position a computer would win easily against a human oponent, it doesn't matter which side the computer plays!

From a Computer Chess prespective, if open positions generally favor the rooks. Then shouldn't we see something like (0.20)
