No football on the telly so why not look at some Stoltz? 😁 https://youtu.be/PhiAR0jq90w with a couple of blog posts examining the Swedish variation of the Tarrasch, invented and popularised by Stoltz and his fellow “Musketeers”! https://matthewsadler.me.uk/attack/the-swedish-defence-by-the-master/ and https://matthewsadler.me.uk/openings/the-swedish-variation-of-the-tarrasch-defence/ #chess #reengineeringtheclassics #siliconroad

#siliconroad #reengineeringtheclassics #chess Wouldn’t surprise me to see some more Petroffs in the World Cup Semi-Final playoffs so why not take a look at this expert handling of the white side by Michael Adams in a two-part series: https://matthewsadler.me.uk/attack/the-complexity-of-symmetrical-pawn-structures-part-1/ and https://matthewsadler.me.uk/attack/the-complexity-of-symmetrical-pawn-structures-part-2/

#chess #tcec #siliconroad A nice demo of how NNs (various technologies) have increased the strength of engines. Leela and current Stockfish took on the last Stockfish version to feature a hand-crafted evaluation (not self-learnt as now) in 5-min blitz from the starting position. tcec-chess.com

#chess #siliconroad The next instalment of my analysis of the spectacular tactics in a French defence between Stockfish and Torch! https://matthewsadler.me.uk/attack/explaining-complex-tactics-part-4/

#chess #siliconroad The next (third) blog entry examining the wonderful game Stockfish-Torch https://matthewsadler.me.uk/attack/explaining-complex-tactics-part-3/

#reengineeringtheclassics #siliconroad #chess A second blog post about the amazing Stockfish-Torch game, examine some fascinating alternatives to the engine’s main continuation. https://matthewsadler.me.uk/attack/explaining-complex-tactics-part-2/ Hopefully you’ll love the spectacular lines and also get a grip on how such complicated tactics fit together!

#chess #siliconroad The start of a new blog series looking under the surface of a brilliantly mystifying Stockfish-Torch game I came across in one of engine matches. I’m hoping to manage to explain all the details without too many variations and also learn a lot about the French Defence and about human calculation at the same time! https://matthewsadler.me.uk/attack/explaining-complex-tactics-part-1/
