Go up one level in this thread


The software in head says : "For both sides, 3 pieces (the Queen, the King's
Rook , and King's Knight) are mirror image to each other. A good program would
evaluate the position of the 3 pieces and consider attack on the
h-file...White's adv over black is that its Bishop is already aiming at the h6
square while Black's has not done the same at the h3 square yet....also, since
it is white to move, a pawn storm with the h and g pawns will caused Black to
think deep.." (just then my software crashed...that's all).
