That's completely irrelevant, because he claimed that Gandalf should have a preference for solving sacks, which he knows absolutely nothing about. And then he continues from there. That's the error. >I'm thankful that people like Vincent still post interesting things on CCC, >otherwise we would just have the usual endless debates about whether computers >are GM strength, or the results of the latest coin tossing experiment. Certainly, but let's try to cling on to something that at least resembles fact at the same time and avoid ramblings. >Back to the subject: can anyone post Gandalf analysis for that position? Yes. But contrary to what Vincent originally claimed, it's not particularly happy before or after the sac. As a curiosity Gandalf prefers 14.e4 (+2.00) instead of the Diep sack. I guess this proves the sacking preference once again and its happy attitude. Furthermore, I was unable to reproduce 7... Bd6 nor 9... Nbd7 within reasonable time and Ba6 is no longer a chooseable book move, so... 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 b6 4. g3 d5 5. Bg2 Ba6 6. cxd5 exd5 7. Nc3 Bd6 8. O-O c6 9. Bg5 Nbd7 10. Qa4 Qc8 11. Nh4 b5 12. Nf5 Bf8 13. Qb3 g6 14. Nxd5.... I could restart the analysis before 14.Nxd5 and post it, if it has any interest. Mogens.
