Such a tree requires no extreme calculations and is fairly easy to do for most people, now evalutating the end result is what really seperates the best players. Combinations on the other hand sometimes require much deeper trees, sometimes 9-10 or more moves. However here there are shortcuts in caluation, forcing moves, forced moves, clearly supiror postions, or mate threats all cut down potential large sections of the tree beacuse the moves are more or less forced to go down a logical path. thus the premutations are not so duanting as they may first seem, but again evaluating the end position is vital (seeing how it will play out in advance does nothing if it is a worse position for you). | ||

for those that dont follow chess that much it can be hard to understand why one player can be good at matches especially, they play chess the same way they play in tournaments right? well, in matches where several games are played against the same oponent specific preparation becomes crucial, and in the field kramnik is arguably the best in the world. the best example is when kramnik wrested the title from kasparov ( Topalov is the logical heir to the dynamic style of chess which was the signum of Kaspaov ) by cleverly stearing the games into well rehearsed endgames where kaspaov felt uncomfortable. As i see it Topalov probably is the slightly stronger player over all. But his lack of match experience makes this a toss up. Also Kramnik has shown that he is capable of shutting down players with similar style to Tpalov. The unknown factor is Kramniks current healthcondition. He is suffering from some sort of rheumatic disease which has kept him from serious competition for quite some time. | ||

If he did that then B-e4 forks the King and Rook....trading Rooks is not good for black. | ||
