Annotated Game #4: Znoskoborosky vs. Mackenzie (Part 1)

Isn't d5 for white a good move?

[KensOfficeUSA]

I hope your referring to White's 11th move (at 6:36). d5 sure looks tempting, but I would not suggest 11.d5 since it allows Black to pin the Knight on f3 (11. ...Bg4) which is a key piece helping to control the center.

I don't remember but probably 8:00 white played be3 which is rybka gives +0.17 to white which is also the case with d5, btw a4 is rybkas move with a +0.26 advantage. depth:16(there is no bg4 now)
