Interesting opening

Post by Nordlandia »

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 d5 4. Nc3 dxc4 5. e4 Bb4 6. Bxc4 Nxe4 7. O-O Nxc3 8. bxc3 Bxc3 9. Ba3 Bxa1 10. Qxa1 *

[d]rnbqk2r/ppp2ppp/4p3/8/2BP4/B4N2/P4PPP/Q4RK1 b kq - 0 10

White has speedy development and a strong initiative, for the material deficit. Meanwhile all black pieces remains on the back row, in addition to black king is stuck in the middle for the time being.

Is it enough for a win as white here or just a lasting advantage throughout the game.

Strong hardware analysis will be appreciated.

the move 9.Rb1 is stronger than 9.Ba3?! i think,
and anyway after 9.Ba3 my engine simply plays 9...a5
instead of taking the rook.
Then 8...Bd6 (or e7) is better than 8...Bxc3?!

interesting position maybe, but strange opening play

i dont own very strong hardware but i doubt that this would make any decisive difference...the white advantage seems to be there and i was not able to equalize for black in the time i spent on this position (around 1,5 hours) and i couldnt find anything decisive as well for white neither...the mainline i got is this:
10. ... Qf6 11. Qb1 Nd7 12. Bb5 c6 13. Nd2 a6 14. Ne4 axb5 15. Nxf6+ Nxf6
16. Bc5 ∞

to me it seems that white works with damp clay but black will probably equalize sooner or later imo
