The History of the Problem's Final Score
(1999 - 2011)
(Referenced by 19) In this chapter, we present in chronological order our main results, and findings, which are related to changes in the problem's final score. We start with Black winning the Capture Variation of Fujisawa Hideyuki by two points. Several small improvements in White's play - mainly discovered, and assembled, by Joachim Meinhardt; the final blow being an invention of Yamada Shinji - not only caused Black's lead to evaporate slowly, but eventually led to White winning the game. My discovery of two counter-intuitive moves brought Black back on the road to victory, winning the game by barely one point. At last, Harry Fearnley found a further improvement in Black's play, resulting in a final score of three points for Black. | |
