    Kasparov's quote still applies as much as ever. It is irrelevant what the "engine says" The better player is better.

      Agreed, there's so many Tal positions engines evaluate as worse that he won due to complexity. There should be a separate evaluation if most of the normal responses are losing and the opponent has to find an obscure "only move".
      Like that famous olympiad "Misha impossible" game vs Hans.

      ​​@@88mphDrBrowntbf thats what the human commentators are for. Chess engines can evaluate chess, not human psychology, so its impossible for an engine to tell how "obvious" a move is. But there can be a letter next to the number that represents how wide or narrow the path to victory is. For ex: "A" means almost any move maintains advantage, "B" means 3 or less, "C" means only 1 move. Whether that 1 move is taking the free queen that a 100 rated player is "attacking" your bishop with or a brilliant defensive combination, its all equally "easy" to the engine, but that letter system can give human a hint at least. It would remove the impression that every game where there are massive swings in the eval bar are played by patzers

      @wallysullivan9315 I strongly suspect they have some sort of "normal/human" move analysis algorithm in their anti cheating software. I like that letter grade idea, did you just come up with that or does it already exist?

      Actually it’s gonna be underestimation then, everyone should play considering position, otherwise always taking the risk and “playing the player” instead, they may run into some painful surprises like Aronian did or Yakuboev, in both cases clearly underestimating their much weaker opponents and getting a clearly lost positions. Especially now, when there is much knowledge and engine preparation, some 2100 or even 1800s can be a very tough opponents

    #Suggestion I have a golden recommendation for you. IM Alice Lee vs WIM Jan Jodilyn Fronda on round 2 of the Olympiad. Truly a beautiful attacking game with a really nice knight sacrifice to finish it off
    I don't know if you've covered her before, but Alice Lee is a very bright talent at the forefront of the next generation of strong female GMs

  • @davidmitchell3881

    Agads observation about weaker players was made by Petrosian years ago. He might not even have been the first to make it.
    Top players simply play at top level all the time. Thats why they are the best. The rest of us can play a few moves brilliantly and then we lose the thread of the position.

    A good reason for such a sacrifice is perhaps arjun thought the game was headed for a potential draw he thought his opponent might go for. That bishop captures pawn pretty much eliminates the possibility of a draw and will give him a chance to prove that being higher rated means he will prevail over the course of the next 40 moves.

    There are many kinds of sacrifices.
    Some bring clear compensation right away.
    Others bring compensation in theory such as weak color complex, bad structure.
    A real sacrifice means compensation is unclear.
    The Master just " feels " it was right....often the compensation appears in the endgame.

      ​@dannymeslier6658 Yes, but Arjun has said again and again in his interviews that against lower rated opponents, he tries to imbalance the position as quickly as possible to take his opponent out of prep. He is confident that he can win an unbalanced position against sub 2500 opponents. He wouldn't try this with 2600 and above rated opponents.
