thankyou



In this position Eman 9.50 and Zeus 50.3 'probably' evaluate correctly as a + for White.

The latest Dragon (3.3) sees it differently.

Yes, white has an advantage. But is it enough for winning the game?

What are the opening moves which lead to this position?

Crosstable

In the game you see in the crosstable, where I drew, it was due to a mistake on my part when making the move. He had won the game, but the mistake made it even, and this is luck, due to repetition. I share with you the game that I was able to win with black, where until white makes g3, I did not use any engine or database, since I know these variants with black. I'm surprised that he let e4 be done so early, which leads to equality if we analyze with a chess engine. But he made g3 and there it really took me aback from what I knew since the position was not clear to me. Then the HypnoS engine performs a rook sacrifice per knight and breaks the center along with an unstoppable queenside attack until the opponent surrenders. It's my first tournament in years, and I'm surprised by games like this where white doesn't try to make the best moves. In any case, the opponent congratulated me and I responded by wishing him the best as well. Looking at the leaderboard and the games that are about to end, I think we are going to do a good job. All the best!
