Hi Theo, >It's nice to see other people become interested in the game! Oh, I am interested in that game since almost 3 month :-) >It is more subtle then you (OR EVEN INGO!) thought. Seems so. Unfortunatly I was satisfied to beat Ingo in Paderborn and did not notice that a new EinStein-Star was born there, otherwise I would have played you. May be we will have an EinStein-Match in Leiden. >Let's have a look at 6d2xc3? >x4 moves in case of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. >x4 can reach the corner in 3 ply: 5/6 * 2/6 * 5/6 = 50/216 > >Let's have a look at 6d2-d3 >x6 moves in case of 5(but not the first time) or 6. >x6 can reach the corner in 3 ply: 1/6 * 1/6 * 2/6 = 2/216 >x4 moves in case of 2, 3, 4 or 5. >x4 can reach the corner in 3 ply: 4/6 * 2/6 * 4/6 = 32/216 >giving a total of 34/216. > >Let's have a look at the move I played: 6d2xc2! >x6 moves in case of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. >x6 can reach the corner in 3 ply: 5/6 * 1/6 * 5/6 = 25/216 > >The subtlety is in the TACTICS of the first move of x4 after 6d2-d3. >It goes to d1 leaving it only half as vulnerable to capture as d2 would be! > >Conclusion: My move was optimal :-) Yep, I was wrong, sorry, I am a stupid fool. The position was much more complicate than I thought. Would you play this move over the board too? If yes, you understand the game much deeper I will ever do. Lars
