Go up one level in this thread


The game is not over after that move, it is easy to think that getting an
advantage is the same as winning. Chess is a game that you must play better all
the time to win(I think thats called a "hot" game), and GMs are notorious
breakout artists. I suspect the reason Ruslan did not resign early was part
pride, and part the wite backrank weakness. There is a real possibility of
horizon effect errors that could force a perpetual. Rebel played a very strong
game after that. Have you checked the programs later in the game. I think some
of them (LG2000a in some positions try to find a perpetual) will play less
convincing moves.
