CCC Forum vs BigLion chess960

[tano-urayoan]

Rfa1

[Matthias Gemuh]

30.Rfa1

Matthias.

[Spock]

Rfa1 is the early favourite:

Rfa1 - Steve, Graham, Tano, Matthias
Ra7 - Swami

One more vote for Rfa1 and I think we can be pragmatic and close the vote early, and take that as the forum's vote. Of the regular voters, Andranik and Gerold still to come. Maybe Sven and Wael too

[gerold]

I'll vote for 30.Rfa1 because it seems to be a more logical follow up than 30.Qb5.

Rfa1

Best.
Gerold.

[Spock]

Rfa1 - Steve, Graham, Tano, Matthias, Gerold
Ra7 - Swami

As above, I'll take Rfa1 as the forum's vote

That is a ponder hit, but BigLion is choosing to think about it

We have not thought long enough for BigLion to have an answer already
When the guy plays his move, I hope you don't forget to tell us the score .
My bet is that white is winning.

Yes you're right, BL had not pondered enough, but still a net overall time saving. This is move 30 so I'll post BigLion's evaluation along with the move

[Spock]

BigLion responds with Rd6 and an evaluation of +0.19 (advantage to white)

The forum's move again

Well its 31.Ra8 for me
BL has to reply with Bb8..any Q move loses material
BL is close to Zuswang here

[Spock]

BL's evaluation was +0.19, however if you would like me to tell you the evaluation score from another engine, let me know. Could well be a little different. White looks much better to me than +0.19
