UM tryin to learn, all there traditional strategies, books, machines, etc, says, “white has the advantage of the first move” what made them change or “overstate” or are they just plain ole in error. Susan, any ideas UM just curious.
Hey Lionel, great question to put forward.
I believe the best answer is to answer in terms of tempo or time to make a threat or develop one’s pieces (not to be confused with the actual chess clock time). If you would like a more illustrative game, try a symetrical game where black ‘copies’ each move made by white. Realise that it all changes once white calls on a check to the black king. Thus white is said to be a tempo ahead as black cannot check white on the same move he has received the check (remember this is a symmetrical setting, in other positions it is possible to check whilst blocking a check on one’s king). Try it. Start with 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Bb4 4. d3 d6 5. Bxc6+ …,
now black cannot play 5. …. Bxc3+ as his king is in check.
I hope this answers your question.
#1 cmon man this is old stuff i beat them with on icc years ago who you foolin? They moving that knight in a circle in their traditional tournaments and callin each other geniuses,well it might be” new and interesting” theory to them but not to Ultramodernism.
