That would be fine :)

I can't actually make the move until tonight though, the firewall at work is blocking the port I need to log in to my home machine
Thats OK
:P
will be very interesting to see if BL does play 10..c5
if not..i think we are off to a nice advantage
if it does..a slight advantage

it would be interesting to know BL's Eval Score after its 10th move and then perhaps every 10th move after that..
if you dont feel that is giving away too much info of course

Crossroads Regards

bxc4 is the forum's move

That was a ponder hit, and BigLion responds immediately with c5

Against a strong human in an OTB game i would never play h3 here
after Qc8 and with both of Blacks N's in striking vicinity the position just cries out for an eventual B sac on h3
however i just dont know if a computer program would eventually consider a plan to build up pressure against h3 and then sac given 24 hours to ponder on fairly strong hardware
still..i just cant bring myself to play h3 here
so i vote for 11.Bc3 with Qb2 to follow

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

I thank the forum that apparently nobody has used an engine till now against BigLion in this game.
Weak and clueless BigLion is definitely beatable without engine help.

you should be proud that BL played 10..c5
a good solid move that restrains Whites game

Where would be the fun in using an engine to help us. Why do we have our own brains? :wink: :P
Can't understand those who play correspondence chess using engines either.
