My opponent could win on the next move with d2-e1 but he played d2-c1 instead. If I was using a computer program, I would never have gotten into this psotion to begin with. I will allow someone like George Miller to confirm I am in a loss. I can't be responsible for my opponents not winning.
Here is a second example, when I forgot the Andrew Jackson Defense to the Switcher...
From here I should lose. f8-g7 was the way to draw that line, and I played it enough to know better, I just merely forgot it.
So, again, Jake and his far-flung assessments are demonstrated false. Every prorgam has moves in the opening book to avoid the early loss, and endgame databases can salvage draws from a great distance, which could have saved the first game.
