[D] 5r1k/1pq2rp1/1p1p2np/2pPp3/P1P2p2/1Q1PP2P/1P1B1RP1/5RK1 b - - 0 27 and in this position, otello wrote that fritz thinks white is slightly better after Kh2-g1 instead of Rxf5, as played by anand. i'm convinced that this position is great for black anyway - queen+knight vs queen+bishop against the exposed white king is an advantage anyway, and in addition, the black pawn majority h+g vs h-pawn is mobile, whereas white's majority is not. [D] 5q1k/1p4p1/1p1p2np/2pPpr2/P1P5/3PP2P/1P1B3K/3Q1R2 w - - 0 34 what do the silicon oracles say? cheers martin
