THis is the postion at 11th move in the game , and Master Play page 237 T at 5th move.I think that 10-14 loses and 9-14 draws.

Yes, agree ! It was my cook some years ago, but never had a chance to play this on serious occasion. Good finding, Mr. Williams ! This position is very important and often arise from few openings.

Most aurthors agree that the person to first play a line or publish a line is the one that gets credit for it unless the publisher or the person who played the line gives credit to someone else.

Thanks for posting this. Your name will go with this line.

Michael, thanks for pointing my attention again to these fine analyses.

Rawle, I was wrong few years ago, and today changed my opinion back (unless otherwise proved).

10-14 is a drawn move. After 19-15 try 6-9 trade(instead 16-19) and let me know your thoughts. Michael and anyone else, including programs - you all also are more than welcome to join with us and help to find a true.

Regards,

Alex

After 19-15, 6-9 ,13-6 ,1-19 I THINK WHITES CAN STILL WIN THIS POISTION.

[Alex_Moiseyev]

Rawle, I am at work now and don't have an access to my program. It is hard to evaluate this position properly without program help. It is very possible, that you are right. At least - move 21-17 seems like a star move to me, which I didn't fully research previous time. If white play 8-11 instead - I think red can drew the game.

I'll be back to you soon.

I am still hope that Mr. Gilbert & KR join with us help to find a true. 10 pieces database involvement in such position would help tremendously.

LOOK LIKE A WHITE WIN TO ME

Hi, Rawlie ! Yes, now I agree with you ! After looking again and more deeper into this position, I agree with your verdict and analyses. Great job, thanks for sharing this with us ! All credits are yours indeed

Kingsrow/10 agrees that 10-14 at move 11 is likely a loss.
