i haven't run through the game, but the diagrammed position seems to be clearly
better for black to me - an exchange is worth very little in this type of
position; while the huge weaknesses of the white squares around the white king
will soon tell. the bishop on d5 is a MONSTER, and the white bishop on a1 is
worth nothing. i would be interested to know what kind of eval aristarch gives
itself in this position?
