I understand the position is bad, I guess you don't wat to listen: I simply said may be it was an option to "admit black is worse and take the pawn", instead of getting into a locked position and shuffling pieces with no plan. >You said black can play Bd7 followed by Nc6. This is obviously wrong. Again I said it was an option: >It fails tactically. it does not necessrely fail tactically, depends on white move, since I did no make any assumption on white move how can you say it fails? You assume your main line is the truth? >Show me how you want to proceed after Re1. Ok I admit on Re1 Bd7 does not work, but there are other options Be6, Bf5, Bg4, h6 and others, I'm pretty sure now you can start your engine and show me white is better. There also other option to give a pawn inbetween and get a position one pawn down not as bad as what fritz got in few moves. But we are in a to long story of if and if What you fail to understand is that your engine will continue to miss the key point: Qc7 is bad as well and may be even worse >>I simply don't think so: I think Fritz has much more pratical chances in this >>position than in the line it played. > >A Computer does not know about practical chances. >How should he? that's another point. The fact Fritz it does not understand why it did lost does not make the loss less good.
