OK!...

So it has been pointed out that at move (19) Houdini-White should have Played Bxb5 instead of B-b3 ?

The game was played at 60 seconds each per move...and that's why Houdini did not find the move!

So how long do we wait for a Computer to find the Best move in any Position?
.............................

To find the move Houdini would of had to search to 23/65 not possible in the Game with the time controls set...

Plus more important a lot of the Computers previous Analysis was waisted looking at the wrong Black replies!?

The Analysis can now Start to see if Black can Win by not Playing 18-b5 and playing a better move!

This can of course go on forever until the end of the Game Tree ? until every variation has been played...Then Humans will Stop playing Chess!!

Below are the Moves as Played in the Game!...
So its Easier to Duplicate the Game Against Houdini.
Set Houdini's Thinking time to (60) Seconds Fixed.
You should also try to Play at about the Same Speed!
If you Play too Quick! it may Change the Response Moves by Houdini ?
P.S you may have to Enter the First (2) Moves Each as the Opening Choice for Houdini!
as that was it's Choice for the Game.

Well said Ricardo.
I also noticed that this same thread has been posted in numerous other chess forums under the exact same thread name.

I Fully agree Ricardo...

When I said (This can of course go on forever until the end of the Game Tree ? until every variation has been played...Then Humans will Stop playing Chess!!)

Is the same as what you are Saying! :)

Computers or Humans will find different Maybe better Moves in the Future! but let's enjoy the Good Moves Now before it's Too late!

Chess will Never die Regardless...Because it will always be Compellingly Interesting! and the Reason Adults don't Play Noughts & Crosses! - Tic-Tac-Toe (Well most of the time!) :)

Dr. Queeg's initial take on the ARM system

very nice plan MR BROWN !!

I appreciate the results and creativity. :D

However playing for a supported break on c5 and/or f5 when you play this "hedgehog/ hippopotamus followed by a king's Indian -type attack" would be my strategy thrown in with a sac or attack against the backward pawns and weaknesses created by the exchanges (if allowed)

I have not put much effort into the analysis (just looking at your game and thinking 3 minutes) But I have played against similar formations with success - they seem too slow and artificial. Still a porcupine must be approached with due caution :)

Allowing the locking of the center is a BIG mistake for your adversary and I would not be so obliging :P

Your pawn structure must be weakened and not allowed to sit undisturbed and I suspect that the moves h6 and a6 are premature and should prove to be a waste of time, as they do nothing to help control the center. certainly the premature advance to e5 or d5 is a situation you love because it takes the tension and pawn breaks on f5 and c5 out of the picture - white's energy is spent and absorbed. It makes him a candidate for a sitting duck attack. :oops:

I am NOT putting your system down as I might play it myself but there seems to be violations of basic principles. However, it should be HIGHLY effective against silicon opponents. :wink:

I still like it - but what is your plan against such pawn lever moves to break the structure down :?: and perhaps white should not be castling into your attack either !

Above all your opponents must maintain an elastic position with dynamic chances..

looks a bit passive regards

ARB



Once again - I see the same bad strategy for white - I would like to see how ARB stands up to proper strategy that breaks the structure, etc.. as I said already. That Nf3 and Nc3 (blocking c and f pawns) , advance e or d pawn to lock center and castle to King-side is just DUMB for white. All whites dynamic options are absorbed again - so far I see nothing to refute those comments.

The computers have been very accommodating to this defense. One that learns from it's mistakes will find a challenging line that may even refute the ARM.

I do agree the computer does not understand it - I was merely trying to say that there is a much better strategy than to become a sitting duck.

Your setup is decent no doubt. But likely unsound strategically against a planning opponent with a dynamic position. I do like the re-evaluation of the pieces worth because of structure. A more position dependent set of values for the pieces is in order. the Russians win many games because the Rook's value is not 5, especially not in every situation and definitely not early in the struggle.

I stand by my analysis :P

A static approach (universal) to the opening is never going to work - one size does not fit all. 500 years of theory are not without merit because of one system of play. e6, d6 is not winning. It is Interesting and fun though.

My comparison to the Hippo was for a point of reference -

Nothing to make me change my analysis so far regards,

ARB

I will make a confession though

I WANT TO TRY IT OUT !!

ARB is definitely better than the Hippo. I give you credit for your hard work and dedication to come up with your own ideas - I praise this !!

Here's to the ARB and hoping it will work for me :D
Looking forward to posting some wins with your opening MR Brown !

Did I mention that I love your analysis of it regards,
