I recently had an opponent resign in the opening in what looked like an even position, and when I asked why he said his "analyzer" showed him to have a dead lost game. I dunno what brilliant combination his program saw, but it's highly unlikely I would have found it. Is that great or what?

The only game that fits the description is this Game 879568 but the guy was without queen,so the resignation is fully comprehensible
Hehe,this new board feature is great!

Originally posted by RavelloIt can't be that game, Rav; the game just blundered away his Queen! That's not too "even".
The only game that fits the description is this Game 879568 so that everyone knows that this guy uses some ''help'' to evaluate his positions.
However I would have continued to play.........

I just edited the post,as I'm just get up from bed and didn't notice the blunder...........
By the way from his public games I can't see other resignations in the opening,but maybe I'm missing something......
Maybe this?Game 891903

Originally posted by RavelloOh hell...I didn't mean to rat the guy out, it never occured to me that anyone would be interested enough to sort through my games, but, yeah, that's the one. I don't see anything that would make the game resignable, do you?

Originally posted by GalaxyShieldLOL!! OK, maybe someone with a lot of spare time could plug this into their "analyzer" and tell us what the position looks like. I'm not interested enough to go to the trouble, I just hope I get more opponents that resign on speculation because a program says it's a lost cause. If only I were as smart as Fritz.
Maybe cause he can't castle? Lol.

(That looks like a good move... white might be able to castle, or if he can't, he can still connect his rooks. This is my opinion, not Chessmaster's.)

Even the 6th best move (20. Rd1) is given as black ahead by 1.50 pawns.
But there is something else that is a little disturbing. When somebody says he resigned because of computer analysis, that means he's using a computer during the game.
