Go up one level in this thread
I think that the 1.5 pawn threshold you guys have chosen is going to generate a lot of false positives: - sacrifices that Crafty (or any computer) can't understand - Kramnik choosing to win a rook instead of mating in 9 - sacrifices that probably aren't completely sound, but are perfectly reasonable in human vs human play If you're looking for blunders on the same level as Qc4, you should use at least a 2.5 pawn threshold, but I'll be shocked if you find anything. Kramnik's games are scrutinized by players all over the world. If he had made a blunder of that magnitude (missing a 1-ply tactic when not in time trouble) it would have already been published. Qc4?? is a once in a lifetime blunder for a 2800 player. -Peter
