Subject: Is sacrificing Rook for Knight Correct.
In below game Help Bot Sacrificed its Rook for a Knight.

Advantage of this Sacrifice.

1. King became Open as g2 Pawn was at f3.
2. Double pawns at f2 and f3.

But is this sacrifice Correct?

As after some moves White Exchanged its double Pawn. Yes the king file
was Open. But still Rook is +2 points than a Knight.

Why did Help Bot sacrificed Rook for just a Knight? was it a correct
Move?

What were the wrong moves played by Easy Level that it lost in 57
Moves?

Remember this time play a bit strong game as the Game was improved
today and it will be very difficult to win the game if you sacrifice
the same way. This time you will need 70-80 Moves to Win the Easy
Level.

Everytime you play with Easy Level you will have to fight for 70-80
Moves then only you can win the game. And I doubt if you can ever win
the Normal Level.

You can win

Beginner Level in 60-65 Moves
Easy Level in 70-80 Moves.
Normal Level may be in 90-100 Moves.
Master Level - > Never.

Sanny,
http://www.getclub.com/playgame.php?...338&game=Chess

On the latest game, it doesn't look like the bishop sac was correct
GetClub Normal lost material as a result. The game was controlled fro
then on by Rybka.

Do you have a comments section at your site for each game that i
posted? That would be a good idea for consolidation.

Gotta go

Help bot is a terrible weak fish; everyone knows
that a Rook is worth more than a Knight!

Maybe help bot is worse than I thought. Maybe
even his follow-up was clumsy?

Maybe he just didn't see the Rook could be
captured?

Perhaps. But these positional sacrifices are
much too difficult for weak players to attempt.
Better to stick to trading down to the endgame,
where even weak players like help bot can
easily outplay the GetClub program!

Too many to count. In order to lose to a very
weak player like help bot, it must have made a
whole slew of errors! Maybe Fritz can graph
the game, pinpointing the biggest blunders... .
