Why decline? Black should grab the pawn!

How should WHITE continue is black declines?

Play 3. e5; you really have no choice, or you
will achieve no advantage whatever as White.


Send the following:

3. e5 (if any...)

4. exf6 __your move__

GetClub Chess Today beat Rybka at Hard Level. Are you able to win the
Beginner Now? I think it would now be very tough to win the Games at
GetClub even with the Beginner Level.

Tell me how it is playing now, Do you find any improvement in its
game.

Sanny, I have found that the GetClub program
is getting tougher and tougher to beat. But it
still is so weak in the pawn endings that I can,
if need be, steer toward theoretically drawn
endings with a strong expectation of easy
victory. Of course, I don't do that because it
is a bad habit to get into, and habits die hard.

In one recent game I was a pawn down in a
Queen and two Rooks ending, where my King
was rather exposed to attack. I traded the
Rooks off and entered a dead-drawn Queen
ending, and the program -- because it was a
doubled-pawn ahead -- refused to draw via
perpetual check (say, threefold repetition of
position). As always, the GC program kept
its King near a corner, and ultimately this led
to its demise.

However, in the middle game I feel that I am
no longer "in control" of matters; the program
is becoming more and more dangerous,
harder for me to handle. But it is no match
for a commercial chess program like Fritz or
Rybka-- not in any phase of the game.

That's right, take the knight.
