Hiarcs9 TC - Fritz8.0.0.5
1.e4 e6
2.d4 d5
3.a3 dxe4
4.Nc3 Nf6
5.f3 c5 {this part was forced. You asked for it.}
6.Be3 exf3
7.Nxf3 cxd4
8.Nxd4 a6
9.Be2 Qc7
10.O-O
{White has (IMO) an optimal position to create ideas
against the black position. Will Hiarcs be able to make something out of
the position ?}
10... Nc6
11.Nxc6 bxc6
Why do you call this position or the pawn less bad for white ?
I like the position and the possibilities white has.
White has in some positions >60 branches and therefore different possibilities.
Thats very difficult for computers to calculate.
Therefore black could make many mistakes defending the position.
IMO it's worth the pawn.
You said: "black just wins a pawn for nothing"
I don't see it THIS way.
I am sure other intelligent programs can play such a position too.
Here how the game continued:
12.Qd4 Bd6
13.Qh4 Be5
14.Bc5 Rb8
15.Rab1 h6
16.Kh1 Bxc3
17.bxc3 Rxb1
18.Rxb1 Qe5
19.Qd4 Qxd4
20.cxd4 Ne4
Black has the bishop still on C8 and the rook on h8.
So in fact those pieces are not there.
While white had different ideas and possibilties to follow and try,
black was most of the time passive and not able to make the game.
a typical situation for BDG games. thats why you give the pawn away.
21.Rb8 Kd7
22.Bb4 Rd8
23.Ba5 Re8
24.Ra8 Bb7
