Re: The Secret of Chess
Btw., a correspondence GM just left a nice review on the first part on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RHK64MQ15OJL9/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B074M85CVV Thus, my supposition the stronger the reviewer the better the review seems to be true.

Re: The Secret of Chess

Re: The Secret of Chess
SF still does not see Bxa4 wins here.

Re: The Secret of Chess
Just to mention that the comparison between top engine and human play in the collection is an interesting observation. We all know that top engine games last much longer on average, and the collection will only corroborate that. But there is one more interesting phenomenon I discovered, namely that ...
