An exercise for humans

Post by Uri Blass »

[d]r1bqkb1r/pppp1pp1/2n2B1p/1B2p3/8/3P1N2/PPP2PPP/RN1Q1RK1 b kq - 0 7

What is the best move for black and who do you think is better after every choice?(equal is also a possibility and you can also choose slighthly better or having a clear advantage).

I wonder how humans evaluate it without engines.
It is obvious that there are only 2 candidate moves.

second question:Do you understand the opinion of top engines here after replying to the first question without engines and giving the position to some top engine?

Third question:Do you agree with the opinion of top engine?

On 7...Qxf6, I see 8.Bxc6 and 9.Nxe5 winning a pawn. So, I'd play 7...gxf6.
Eval : no importance if it's the only move :-)
