Go up one level in this thread


This is a well-known line of the Poisoned Pawn which I find almost impossible to
play against a strong computer.  The area I've seen computers normally fail in
this variation is when they look at the material count, decide they're losing,
and grab a draw.  The pieces are so disorganized that it's terribly difficult
for a human to play, particularly at shorter time controls. The normal
positional rules hardly seem to apply at all - it's just one massive tactical
mess!
