Hi
I was just looking at a game my program lost to see where it went wrong
[D]r3k2r/pp1n1ppp/2p2nb1/3p4/3P4/1QN1PPq1/PP2B1N1/R1B2RK1 b kq - 0 2
I am a fairly weak chess player but looking at the above position my intuition
that the position is about equal must be wrong? CM9000 reckons that white is
ahead by at about +1.6.
I would say that although black is approx 1 pawn down on material, its position
is fairly solid, and blacks queen is starting to really mess up whites king
safety. blacks bishop is nicely placed, knights are ok too and blacks pawn
structure is sound, blacks king is not under pressure.
Hence I guessed it looked about equal, my program also reckoned so with a score
of 0.01.
Where is my intuiton wrong on this one, at a glance what should tell me white
has got a good advantage ?
Regards Geoff
