I agree that white has a lead in development, but I don't see any real targets for him at the moment. I think it is = or += at best.Houdini wrote:Not sure, currently the black bishops lack scope. White has a lead in development and the white knight is at least as good as any of the black bishops. So I'd give a small plus to white.AdminX wrote:I think black may be better in this variation since white no longer has his white squared bishop. He just needs to complete his development. Blacks Rf8 could be a good plan to do so.

Did not see that move coming, but I guess I should have it is a logical follow up to Rf8!

Re: Topalov vs Anand Gmae 8
Nb5 results in the same position as the game move Ne4, and you can't put a !! behind it as long as you don't know the outcome of Ne4. In fact White has a slight advantage but you never know ...AdminX wrote:22. Nb5!! was also playable!

Re: Topalov vs Anand Gmae 8
black can never be better in these structures because he is very passive. His light bishop is misplaced, the pawn on a5 fixes the queenside making b7 very weak. If white attacks it it falls. In this variation black has next to 0 chance of winning. Anand plays it because he thinks its safer to defend a technical position against Topalov than to risk running into his preparation like in game 1.AdminX wrote:[d]2r1kr2/1p4pp/p3p1b1/P3P1b1/4Np2/4BP2/1P2K1PP/2RR4 b - - 0 23

Edit: Quoted wrong position, after f5-f4 the light bishop is free but the dark one became bad...
