Go up one level in this thread


After 15 minutes of thought, Shredder 7.04 on AMD 700 32 Meg hash projects this
win for Black with analysis below.

I do not yet know solution yet(don't post it please!) but looks like a beauty.
Note how coordinated whites pieces are and how scattered Blacks. Yes, white is
down a piece and some pawns..but my guess the trick is to use whites piece
coordination moving white King B/N for some sort of mate threat and then
underpromote and consolidate using the possible confined state of Blacks bishop
into the equation?  I don't see solution yet myself but still looking.  Heck if
Tal needs an hour it's probably pretty hairy.  Clue is that human ingenuity is
involved...hmmm is this a 40 move solution with some staircase of White moves
gaining a tempo every 10 move pass or something?.... still working on this
now....Below is Shredder analysis after 15 minutes thought-it doesn't have a
clue yet at a depth of 16 ply gives BLACK a whopping 3.75 point advantage.More
soon.
