Emne: 2N + R vs. A + 2P = R vs. 3.5P ?

I don't think I would trade my A for 2N + 1.5P.

Then again, all the pawns might have been easier to coordinate with 3 pieces instead of one A.

I think the Germans pronounce it "TZOOG-tsvahngk." It's a deeply intellectual phenomenon which people are much better at understanding than computers are. It most certainly deserves a different kind of name like this! The machine will be utterly incapable of "contemplating" such an oddity, while the human spirit can pause and look deeply into it, imagining the ancillary implications...
