Onderwerp: Pawn capture in Embassy Chess game

Aangepast door Walter Montego (9. maart 2006, 19:07:46)

I'm playing a game that has gone 47 moves without a Pawn capture. There might have been one 20 or so moves ago, but I stupidly let myself get Bishop skewered and had to retreat to a defensive posture. I've never played any game of Chess without a Pawn capture after maybe 30 moves, so I find this rather unusual. We'll be repositioning for some more moves and maybe I'll see a chance to attack the Pawn wall for something. As I'm playing against a machine it doesn't matter if you want to speculate or comment on the game or not.

I was trying Pythagoras' plan of a strong Pawn center and then a sacrifice as a way to beat programs, but like I said I screwed up earlier. I told Reinhard that I didn't believe SMIRF had long range or grand view thinking and doubted that it'd be able to use it's material advantage to win the game with it locked up as it is.
