Sally Simpson: Good game.
This postion - Black to play.
click for larger viewBlack played 37...Rg8(!)
click for larger viewThis was puzzle set here by tpstar on Wesley's page. There is a wee sneaky pete for the solver to avoid. White can just skewer the Rook. (and why not?)
39.Qa8+ Ke7 40.Qxg8

I chose 38.Kc1 (threat Rd2) which also wins due to the coming Rd2+ Wonder what the top computers choose as first choice for Black's 37th move. It's the best practical choice. (here have a Rook). I'm doubting if any or many will go for 37..Rg8 because they will expect the best White reply. These things will be seeing things a lot deeper than this...a lot deeper and rejecting them, in some cases over a 0.01 of an evaluation because they are always expecting what it considers is the best move. We have got to them looking for the human plausible move. |
