My knight is on c6, otherwise everything seems correct. I love the position!

Fixed. It's actually getting tedious to generate the position at this point.

It's funny, I am not really sure why you evaluate it so well for black.

 

[Splittet]

Rc1 was a good move it seems, maybe white will survive.

 

[ygolo]

Didn't think you were a "talker" Splittet.

But it can make things more interesting for spectators

I still have the g4 and f5 attack comming. Wait for it.

 

[Nadir]

I'm watching you guys, as is another chess enthusiast.

 

[Splittet]

Hell will occur if I lose this game.

 

[ygolo]

I thought I was the p-type

What's going on in your head?

I was expecting more tactics from an INTJ . So far only two pawns have been taken.

It is your move is it not?

 

[Splittet]

You know, I am using Rybka here... That is allowed, right? I am simply analysing an ocean of lines. The position is so complicated it takes time...

What's Rybka?

What's Rybka?

Rybka is a chess engine.

 

[ygolo]

Rybka is a chess engine.

That makes me feel better. I am not using any engine, and haven't gotten demolished.

I am trying to create a pre-concieved position with my pieces, that is why I thought we were still in book. There hasn't been anything forcefully different from what I wanted.

Doesn't it sort of defeat the purpose when one side uses a chess engine to analyse? It's not like you're going to deviate much from the lines it's going to show you, and the machine will make sure the lines themselves are okay, given that the other side is human, and not a grandmaster at that.

I beat a lot of the chess engines out there.

We'll see how good this Rybka thing is.

I thought this was supposed to be correspondence chess, and in correspondence chess using chess engines is allowed. Everyone actually kind of does. This position is so complex it matters a lot how you use the engine, it might actually be I underestimated his whole kingside attack. Generally engines underestimate king attacks.

Well, you're right, it's allowed in correspondence chess, but both sides use it. I just thought -- although ygolo seems confident enough! -- that just one side using it might create a disadvantage. Not that it matters what with the amount of moves already played -- but might be something to keep in mind for the inevitable next game.

If we played real chess ygolo would win - I suck.

The queen joins the fray, showing why I did 15. Rc1.

(here is what I believe the position is now)

Also, Splittet, comentary is illustrative, so you should still try to understand what the engine is feeding you.

There it is. But I may need to sacrfice some things to make this attack work.

This will get scary.
