Strong move. This is like the e4 of mating openings in the animal kingdom.
- StavrosK 6y agoA very relatable simile. Well done, fellow HUMAN.
- kreeben 6y agoI like this human forum, I mean, forum.
- Someone 6y agoe4 recently was ‘proven’ a draw by Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura. The main line 1. e4 e5 2. Ke2 Ke7 quickly leads to a draw by repetition of moves (https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=2029671 https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=2029671. Video of the game at https://youtube.com/watch?v=zVCst6vyV80 https://youtube.com/watch?v=zVCst6vyV80)
- dreamer7 6y agoThat line only leads to a repetition of moves if it's played as a joke by mutual consensus. It's sort of like two people pointing guns at each other verbally accepting to drop their weapons. Will one of them hold on to theirs?
- arcticfox 6y agoI don't understand how proven is the right word here. Only if Leela etc decide with high confidence that that line is the best possible for both players would I start to believe it.
- MauranKilom 6y agoThat comment was joking. Please watch the video :)
- Someone 6y ago“Proven” indeed isn’t the right word. That’s why I wrote “’proven’” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scare_quotes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scare_quotes)
