Move of the day9 Aug 2026

MINUS 0.41.HE TOOK.PLUS 0.90.

Move six, and I could not remember which pawn move the preparation wanted. I played c4 off the ideas that were still there and left it standing to be taken.

Engine: 0.41 for him before the capture, 0.90 for me after it, and it never came back under 0.46 for the rest of the game.

Zug des Tages9. Aug. 2026

MINUS 0,41.ER NIMMT.PLUS 0,90.

Zug sechs, und ich hab nicht mehr gewusst, welcher Bauernzug in der Prep steht. Ich hab c4 aus den Ideen gespielt, die noch da waren, und den Bauern stehen lassen.

Engine: 0,41 für ihn vor dem Schlagen, 0,90 für mich danach, und unter 0,46 ist sie den Rest der Partie nicht mehr gekommen.

Runde 9Zug 6c4

He took en passant and let me have my game Er hat en passant genommen und mir meine Partie gelassen

Round nine, move six. The pawn on c4 can be taken en passant and that is the whole move: I had forgotten whether the preparation wanted axb4 or c4, some of the ideas were still there, and I played the one that opens lines.

He took. The engine calls 6...bxc3 an inaccuracy and wanted 6...Qd8 instead, which keeps him 0.41 in front and keeps the position shut. After the capture it has me 0.90 up, and over the remaining thirty eight moves the number never came back under 0.46. He told me afterwards that c4 was the move that threw him off.

The night before, he had told Kevin Narr he bet I was going to play the Wing Gambit. He did not look at it, because Narr told him it is a bad opening and he would work it out at the board. He took en passant, and from there I just developed everything with tempo.
