Analysis of the decisive game Shokidoki - 1/128 Rigan
|
Shokidoki played sente, and after its opening move 1. Bb3, Rigan replies with 1... Sc4, a move which I found
(in my attempts to construct an opening repertoire) to be slightly inferior, and after some time will lead to
an advantage for sente. The problem seems to be that after trading its B for S, sente can use its abundance of
generals to establish one on the central square, which is not attacked by the Bc4. As I have not progressed far
in building the book yet, and am still focussing only on the strongest lines, this brings Shokidoki out of book.
Before the battle over the central square gets well on its way, Rigan plays 5... Bb5, presumably to open the file
for its Rook. This causes a marked increase in Shokidoki's evaluation, to around +1, because it allows it to acquire
a promoted Bishop (Dragon Horse) that the opponent cannot quickly dispose of.
For a number of moves Rigan plays exactly those moves that Shokidoki also indicates in its analysis, until 10... R@c5,
where Shokidoki would have preferred S@c5. Initially this causes Shokidoki scores to rise, but the advantage must be
illusory, as after playing a few moves of the PV on which this score was based, it seems to evaporate. After 12. Bxd4
Shokidoki recommends recapture by the King, though, while Rigan does it with the Gold. This seems to be a serious
error; Shokidoki's score jumps to +3.5, and stays at that level. I have analyze the position after 12... Kxd4 upto
17 ply (which took 80 minutes), but Shogidoki cannot find a way to increase its advantage to more than the +2
it already thinks it has at that stage.

Then the score stays hovering around +3.5 for some time, even though Rigan deviates from Shokidoki's expected moves
in two places (13... B@e3 was expected in stead of B@d3, and 17... B@d1 in stead of Bxb1+). Then Rigan plays 18... B@e5,
which seems a fatal serious mistake. Shokidoki's analysis recommends 18... S@c5 to defend against the threat of
19. B@d4, forking K and R. A 17-ply search after this move cannot get the score much higher than +5. Of course that
is already all very bad for 1/128 Rigan; scores of 4 or more are usually decisive, and games tend to end quickly
after it is reached, while at +3.5 there can still be a lengthy battle.
The played move 18... B@e5 loses outright, however. After 19. B@d4, Bxd4 is forced (the only two other legal check
evasions, Kd2 and Ke2 lead to mate in 7 and mate in 8, respectively) and the position after 20. Rxe5 gives a score
of -30.72 for gote at 16 ply, meaning he must already be in a situation where he is busy giving up all his material
for spite checks, to push the checkmate over the horizon, and that further analysis would show the mate. (But this
one already took 183 min...) As sente could force the preceding 3 ply, the score after 18... B@e5 must already be
at least as large.
Shokidoki really never considers 18... B@e5 when put to thinking in that position; it give B@d3, at 10 ply (32 sec)
switches to Rd5, and at 11 ply (1:30) to Rxc3, which at thinking times that could be achieved during the game keeps
the score around +4. When thinking from scratch in the position after 18... B@e5 it sees the continuation B@d4,
BxB, RxB immediately at 1 ply + QS, with a score at a steady +5, (which remains at higher depth), so it never considers
that a viable alternative.
