Sorry Matthias,
I thought it would be a good idea to speed through the initial few moves, I will now wait until at least 2 people agree on a move in this early opening phase. Edmund has just chosen 0-0, would you agree with that, or do you have a different move?
You are playing against *****lito.
In my opinion, it has a style not dissimilar to Botvinnik, using computer analysis might not be enough to beat this tactical monster, it will probably need some clever anti-computer chess tactics.
The Forum move is Re1, Big Bear was not expecting this move, it preferred Nc3 by a margin of 4 centipawns. is it a good idea to reveal the evaluation score? Big Bear thinks the forum is ahead by 0.20, after 40 minutes, and a depth of 23, it responds with 5 ...d6
