Your judgement, please
6/5/2009 – In our weekly column, Oliver Reeh presents a simple chess problem in our CBM Blog. In the diagram left – White to move after 24...Qd6 – which of the following evaluations of the position is correct? A) Black wins, since he conquers the pinned knight;
B) White has a sacrificial continuation which, however, only secures him a draw;
C) White actually wins. You will find the solution in this
annotated game Degraeve-Belezky. You can think about the problem by studying a
lager version of the diagram.
Last year Komodo won the world championship title on two occasions and can call itself "2019 World Computer Chess Champion" and "2019 World Chess Software Champion". And the current Komodo 14 has been clearly improved over its predecessor!
