This was my first game in All India Correspondence Chess Federation against a Player who is so called a "Natural Player" Shams Khan who is playing Chess for past 63 years. He is a advert player of kings gambit. As myself a player of Kings Gambit I was not Amazed when I faced my favorite opening again and that from Shams Khan. [...] 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.¥c4 £h4? As far as I have seen this is a bad move. As white if black had played this move. But I was in a mood of testing computer analysis to its best. As many engines suggest Qh4 I played it.
4.¢f1 d6 5.d4 ¤f6 6.¤f3 £h6 In Kings Gambit If black can hold the f4 pawn he will win , which eventually never happens. Still all try to do that including me!
7.¤c3 ¥e6 8.£d3 ¤bd7 9.¤e2 ¤h5 10.¥xe6 fxe6 11.h4! Here I was in dillemma. Qg6 or Qf6 ? White has equalized easily. But Engines at high depths stick to Qg6 which I had a bad feeling. So I planned to take help of IDeA, A feature in Aquarium GUI which Convekta boasts to be best tool in correspondence chess. After 3 days long analysis on my hexa core with 6 houdinis finally My intuition came out to be better than Engine in IA. Theory says try to save f4 pawn as long as u can. So Qf6.
11...£f6 12.£b5 c5 13.£xb7? First Chance missed to equalize the position completely. At this point It is not easy to pin point the difference between first dxc5 and Qxb7 or first Qxb7 and then dxc5 (which is not possible). But With IDeA you can store all your analysis and minimax to find the best. Although its a very waste of cpu time but its worth trying in crucial matches.

A game with which I am happy to get away with the win from a equal position. Mr Shams Khan without computers did a great job in not missing any tactics which is admirable for a 63 old chess player. when all my analysis method failed it was IDeA which came to rescue to find the best move and I feel it really fulfils its Idea of Creation!!. Its worth a try.

A Very Nice Win against Mr. Shams Khan !!
ReplyDeleteMr. Shams Khan is well known for his miniature wins in AICCF. He is an aggressive player who always opts for Original & Creative lines in his games. It was a pleasure going through this game!!
I'm not sure how useful IDeA is, as I do agree that it wastes a lot of CPU time! I almost always stick to IA. Still, good to see IDeA in action again ... as you have commented, it's well worth trying out !!

Thanks for commenting. Hope you like my annotations.
DeleteWell IDeA is waste of cpu time is true. I stick to IA , DPA And Randomizer always. But there are cases where you nned to store your analysis and IDeA is good in that. But As I said its worth trying that but it will backfire to many who dont know how to use it.
