I bet you will not find any other strong engine play this piece sacrifice because it's losing:smile:

Yet Deep fritz  10 likes it even at slower time controlls. I know the previous game I posted many engines sacrificed a piece as well but not this game...

White: Houdini 2.0

Black Deep fritz 10.1

1. D4 D5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. c4 dxc4 4 Nc3 Nc6 5 Qa4 e6 6. Qxc4 Nb4 7 Qb3 c5 8 dxc5 Bxc5 9 a3 Qb6??(sacrifices a piece for a pawn and a check on the king). 10 axb4 Bxf2 11 Kd1

White simply developed the pieces and won easily. Once again I don't see how this qb6 line is concidered optimal for so long since an engine evaluates a position after a number of moves(ahead of the current position we are looking at) and not simply after the check on the king... It must calculate some seriously flawed lines:grin:

... and you would not find DF10.1 playing this line if you used the supplied DFritz10.ctg opening book. 5..e6? would not have been played. No point complaining about the moves an engine makes when you direct it into a line that is weak and the engine author(s) sought to avoid. A good example of why engine specific opening books should be considered the same as tablebases. If the engine author supplies a book then it may make sense to use it.

Give the engine long enough and it will play 5..Nd5.

What type of hardware are you using?

the position were qb6 is played was approximately equal- it was not a weak line for black.

In an equal middlegame the engine prefers to sacrifice a full piece for a single check on the king which is pretty amazing.

The fritz 11 opening book was used in the game.

OK, but the book could not have been optimised because 5..Nd5 would have been played from the DF11 book.

If it's "normal" book setting, always played 5...e6.

I agree but sub-optimal lines are to extend the book for the user's enjoyment and consequently may not always give best engine performance. Given Deep Fritz 10's SMP wild variability, it is not surprising to find some unusual moves being played, particularly early on. In that respect DF10.1 was no improvement over DF10. So fun yes but doubt if it is substantial enough to be worth posting. Guess the number of replies here confirm the level of interest!?

On reflection though, considering the lack of chess posts as opposed to political posts here now, probably was worth posting if only to try and reactivate chess discussion.

On my intel core duo laptop deep fritz 10 and fritz 10 want to play qb6 up until  about 2mins of ponder when it changes to nd5... so in most time controlls in a middlegame it would have played the move on single dual core

I would be interested to see how fast Deep fritz 10 rejects Qb6 on several cores? please share the result if you have multiprocessor:)

Hah! so it still takes several minutes ... Multiprocessor seems useless compared to dual core with chess engines. There is no difference in this case!
