yes, but the interesting thing is , that when we change the structure, say to attack on the opposite wing (it usually happens when we create like in a stonewall configuration which has two leading pawns) then we must be aware that we are creating additional weaknesses. My plan was faulty Tomo, you yourself provided the bust, it was a bluff, plain an ...[text shortened]... imself of much of the joy and sorrow of chess. He deserves our pity for he has cheated himself.

Originally posted by tomtom232I was referring to Hikaru Nakamura's computer machup rates before he started promoting all his pawns to knights. I don't think brain power alone will be able to get those matchup rates. I believe that there are some people on here that have the right computer programs to get those matchup rates and could let us, because they have done it before. Why not this time?
So you admit that you need computer programs to assist your chess?

Originally posted by RJHindsIt's a moot point. We know Naka was playing against an engine. He fooled the engine, meaning in all likelihood the engine won't agree with at least some of Naka's moves. The engine will match 100%

Originally posted by ChessPraxisWhy not? He played good enough to beat that computer so he might of had a high matchup rate with a stronger computer engine. Perhaps someone was telling him the moves from a stronger computer engine. Didn't you think of that? Computer chess engines ares supposed to be better than humans, so doesn't it look suspicious that he beat this computer chess engine?
