Go up one level in this thread


I pounded the stuffings out of it last night with this result:

r1r2k2/1p4pQ/1n1bp2p/p2n1p2/P2P2Nq/1B5P/1P3PP1/R1BR2K1 w - f6 acd 16; acn
-1574737862; acs 43201; ce 43; pv Re1 fxg4 Rxe6 gxh3 Qf5+ Nf6 Rxd6 hxg2 Kxg2 Nc4
Bf4 Qg4+ Qxg4 Nxg4 Rg6 h5 Rh1 Nf6 Bg5 Kf7;

It is interesting to me that even after 12 hours on a PII 350Mhz machine, no big
payoff seems to be visible.  Positions like this, where the computer makes a
good choice but the payoff is not visible yet (we would hardly be going bonkers
over 2/5 of a pawn) seem to me like "accidental" solutions.  Unless the ce
reflects the true value of the situation, it only means that the position did
not happen to look worse than the others and accidentally settled on the right
move.

I would go as far as to say that we have not really found the solution yet, even
though the right move was chosen.

My question, "Does anyone have a centipawn evaluation that reflects a winning
advantage?"
