Go up one level in this thread


I'm thinking that this position has alot to do with the relative value a program
gives the queen.  Crafty and Yace probably give the Q a high value.

The critical line is 1...e4 2.fxe4 Ne5 3.Rxa5

Now black gets interesting play after Qxa5 4.Rxa5 Nxc4 when black has material
vs the Q and white can't recapture on c4 because of various back rank threats.
Actually white can play h4 with unclear play, there are other similar lines with
a delayed Qxa5.
