Here is "Le Môle", a mountain in France (Haute Savoie).
The variations I analyze don't matter. What matters is that I understand what I need to do to win. And if I do it, then luck will not be involved, as I could beat you every single time, like with 1.g4.

Note that I got 3...f4 to a -2.50 score in less than an hour of analysis (from the root position before 1...f5) before the game started so this post of yours basically proves high depth useless here and big hardware unnecessaryZenmastur wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 10:07 pm I wanted to see what it looked like from your perspective, so I loaded 5-man syzygy and did a multi-PV 4 on the current board position to see what it would come up with if I let it run a while. I figure if you let your computer run for a couple of weeks the output will look something like this:

Well, I was of the opinion before we started that almost all moves win. So, the fact that this wasn't in my analysis might just mean it wins slower than the best move. I guess we'll see after I've analyzed it.Ovyron wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2020 11:48 pmNote that I got 3...f4 to a -2.50 score in less than an hour of analysis (from the root position before 1...f5) before the game started so this post of yours basically proves high depth useless here and big hardware unnecessaryZenmastur wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 10:07 pm I wanted to see what it looked like from your perspective, so I loaded 5-man syzygy and did a multi-PV 4 on the current board position to see what it would come up with if I let it run a while.

So it never crossed your mind that it may be the fastest winning move and that after it anybody would easily win with it (specially people with slow hardware), huh?
It looks like a fast way to throw away your win, but I've only analyzed for about an hour.Ovyron wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2020 3:09 pmSo it never crossed your mind that it may be the fastest winning move and that after it anybody would easily win with it (specially people with slow hardware), huh?
The level of prejudice is incredible, but if this stands for a "move missed by guy on big hardware while guy on slow one finds it in less than one hour" example, I'm all for it!![]()

I had the position before f5 was played at a very high score for black. I've never seen a game drawn from a position with the type of evaluation unless the winning side blundered. That move dropped the score into a range where it's possible to draw. That doesn't mean it is a draw but the possibility is there. So, it's clearly an inferior move. If he makes another move like that one a draw is likely assured. In the mean time I'm trying to optimize his probability of making a similar mistake,zullil wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2020 3:54 pmIt looks like a fast way to throw away your win, but I've only analyzed for about an hour.Ovyron wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2020 3:09 pmSo it never crossed your mind that it may be the fastest winning move and that after it anybody would easily win with it (specially people with slow hardware), huh?

True enough. It also means I can look at many variations that would normally take way too much time.Uri Blass wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2020 4:42 pmNoOvyron wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2020 11:48 pmNote that I got 3...f4 to a -2.50 score in less than an hour of analysis (from the root position before 1...f5) before the game started so this post of yours basically proves high depth useless here and big hardware unnecessaryZenmastur wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 10:07 pm I wanted to see what it looked like from your perspective, so I loaded 5-man syzygy and did a multi-PV 4 on the current board position to see what it would come up with if I let it run a while.

This -2.50 score is only with 5-man syzygy tablebases.
Good hardware means using also 6 and maybe 7-man syzygy tablebases during the search.
The fact that high depth without more tablebases does not help does not mean that big hardware does not help because big hardware is not only high depth but also using more tablebases.
This should read "before f4 was played".
