komodo also instantly gives 1.00+ for white. imo it has quite a bit more stable/accurate evaluation than stockfish.

Uri Blass wrote:I wonder what is your opinion:

1)Is it correct that white objectively has a winning position after these 2 mistakes by black
White has a big advantage. Between peer engines, white should win at least 90% I think. If white is me and black is Rybka, then that is another story.
2)Can chess program see a winning score based on deep search(the important thing is not a big score for white but seeing significant increase in score)?
Big scores in the opening are almost always a mistake, unless there is a whole lot of wood missing and the search is deep. I never trust a deep score in the opening with a search that is under one hour on a fast machine.

3)Does white always win in comp-comp games at long time control between top programs(Naum4.2 Stockfish1.6.3,Rybka3,Firebird1.2)?
I guess almost always.

4)What is the best plan for white?
Nf3 is my current guess, but I am not sure.

Is it Nc3 and Nf3 or maybe it should include at least one of c4 and f4 that fide master suggested in discussion in the following thread

http://chesstempo.com/chess-forum/gener ... 999.0.html

Some analysis by Rybka3 does not show a significant increase in score but of course more time is needed and if somebody with good hardware can give chess programs 24 hours to analyze then it may be interesting.

If God were playing God then White would probably win. There's no question that White has an advantage in the centre, in space and in developement with no structural weaknesses like Black and quite likely is convertable to a win many many moves down the road.

Can I prove it? No, I can't but likely that will be the case and will be proven likely before the 22nd century.

My best guess, White has a win imho.

You think wrongly or you are not really thinking when you are writing this. 90% means 400 elo points. 2 week opening moves = 400 elo points?????
400 elo is even more than exchange handicap.
Please next time think before you write.

I think that the advantage is about one pawn.

I think that a very strong chess engine will win almost every game with a one pawn advantage against a peer.

It's certainly worth an experiment.

You can try. It's certainly not worth a pawn. Analysis from the position is completely useless. Just play few games and you'll see.
What I can immediately tell you that you can be really lucky if you get more than 65% with any of the stronger engines.
For example, currently FB1.2 against itself +2/-0/=8 for white at 3min/game. Even with 10 games sufficient to tell that it will be less than 80%.

As White, would you prefer to play this position or to play the standard position with Pc7 removed?

Almost every game means 95%, let's say? That is 600 Elo, more or less? Isn't this too much for a pawn handicap?

Without a substantial material advantage or a forced tactical line, not the case in this undeveloped position, God playing God would draw ALL games :)

More likely, never. There're no logical perspectives to solve the game in the future. Even in Star Trek, where the light speed is not a limit, they play chess :) (OK 3D chess OK... :))

Very optimistic. But still a guess :)
