Chessmaster took the full 1hr.
How I am doing it is giving chessmaster infinite time, and then forcing a move after 1hr.

Wow, I would think that this should be a pretty strong game by CM10.

Question for those in the know: Approx how much stronger will CM10 play with an hour per move, versus say, 5 minutes? Any ideas?

Nxc6



My vote Nf6

My vote is Nc3, as this (Nc6) is the most common move in this position with the colors reversed, and no a3. It also scores better, and was played more often than Nf6. According to database, e6 is good too, but I think it's time to develop some pieces. e6 will come later, when chessmaster starts threatening along that diagonal.

thinking about this over my cornflakes. what happens after 6 ... e4 ?

7 de , Qxd1
8 Kxd1 - ugly

7 Nxe4, Nxe4
8 de, Qxd1
9 Kxd1 - still ugly

so 7 Bg5 or 7 Be3 ?

so maybe 6 e4 or 6 Bg5 ?

whats de??
and Bg5 could come under fire + too early to develope queens bishop (develope both knights before QB)
Be3 is also bad move as it blocks our center pawn which would make us lose more time for castling.

Looking at the board I'm expecting blacks queen to pin the a3 pawn then attack with KB thus targetting our rook.
So I vote
Nc3 too

6. Nc3
