GLC and LG 2000v3 played a match last night. One of the games that I watched acheived this position: [D]r5k1/1p2qpp1/1p2b1n1/1Pp1p2p/r1PpP2P/P2QPPP1/1BR3B1/3R2K1 w - - 4 27 GLC statically evaluates this position as +0.591 (for white). I believe this is badly wrong. To me (a patzer) black looks to have all the advantages... GLC went on to lose this game. Blacks rook on a4 is simultaneously attacking 2 weak pawns. Black has more space in the centre. Blacks bishop is better placed, and is not "bad", and is also attacking a weak pawn. Blacks king safety looks OK. White has a rook and queen pinned down to defending a weak pawn. Whites queen is doing work blockading a pawn. There is space around the white king. 2 of the white kings pawns are weak. The potential for attacking the white king is high (3 potential attacking pieces). Whites light square bishop looks quite "bad" In general blacks piece mobility looks much better than whites. I belive this should be evaluated as at least 1/2 pawn in favour of black, maybe more. What do other progs evaluations say? Cheers, Tim.
