[D]3b4/8/3k4/p2Pp1p1/2P5/pKP1B1P1/Nn6/8 w - - 0 54 What could be the missing knowledge that makes Chezzz play Bg1 and avoid g4? And is g4 _necesary_ or is Bg1 specifically an _error_? One think I can think of that Chezzz lacks, is that it would be a good idea to fixate the g5 pawn on a dark square, because black's bishop is restrained and because it can be attacked by white's bishop. That is a good reason to choose g4. But are there "tactical" reasons why Bg1 is wrong? Another thing that is missing from Chezzz is knowledge about certain passed pawn situations. Specifically, it knows nothing about outside passed pawns. I think this missing knowledge could play a role, if not now, then later in the game. But you say there are no important errors later in the game, so I will focus on this position. In fact, I can't even reproduce Bg1, if that is the mistake. And I've given it a much longer think than it had yesterday, I think. So it must be the prefilled hashtable that made the difference yesterday: 00:00:00.00 8n 01/00/02 +0.810 54. g4 (8) 00:00:00.01 23n 01/01/03 --------------------------------------------------- 00:00:00.01 61n 02/02/06 +0.740 54. g4 Bf6 (61) 00:00:00.03 185n 02/03/07 --------------------------------------------------- 00:00:00.03 279n 03/04/05 +0.700 54. g4 Bf6 55.
