hello Blackmar Diemer fanatics.
Resuming my posts here after a long pause :-(
Working now with the latest Stockfish 17 engine which brings clarity in so many old lines. Today I am starting off with a basic position in the Euwe after 6...Be7 7.Bd3 Nbd7 (diagram)
I used to consider the old 8.0-0 as the strongest move ( cfr my earlier post ), but now, Stockfish 17 immediately indicates that 8.Qe2 is much stronger.\, followed by castling queenside.
Likewise, I automatically replied 8.0-0 against the main line 7...0-0, only to learn today that 8.Qe2 ( diagram) is much stronger.
The Zilbermints line after 6.Bg5 Be7 7.Bd3 Nc6 8.0-0 is immediately refuted after 8...Nxd4 9.Kh1 c5 and Stockfish thinks white has less than nothing. Instead, the simple 8.a3 0-0 9.Qd2 is suggested with equal game.
For another annoying line 6.Bg5 Nc6, i suggested 7.Bb5 but the silicon monster clearly prefers 7.Qd2
Seems like we have to review lots of new theory here :-(
What a great surprise, I missed it.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was over. I've been following you since the beginning.
Very happy to read you, your analyses are always very serious.
Is your book still available?
See you soon I hope.
