    No, I mean that you have zero credibility. If on the other hand you are going to admit publicly that you have been using a chess engine then maybe you can salvage something.

    Yes, I have a chess engine called Houdini and I have been using it. It beats me every time.

    We all know that much. The question which you seem to be in self-congratulation of avoiding, is do you or have you used it in games with RHP members? Of course the regulars here know the answer, the real question is will you admit it.

    Black's third move is bad.
    His fourth move is probably the least worst available.

    Your suggestion of d5 gives him a shattered king-side and
    doubled pawns after white takes the knight.

    Black can just take the bishop.

    C'mon, if it were spiritual, I'd be WAY better at it.

    That's not even the right question.

    Even if he has used "an engine" in RHP games, it does not follow that it was necessarily "that" one.

    I dunno, it's a pleasant diversion from the sniping that normally goes on.

    Sure black takes the bishop - this is what it looks like.

    That might be a disadvantage in an endgame with just Kings and pawns. However, there is a lot of play before one gets to that point. Black has the advantage of the two bishops and open lines for attack even if he loses one or both doubled pawns. So if Black is looking for an opening that offers counter play, it may not be that bad.
