hmmm. When I was new to the site I once or twice entered a game into an engine, set it to run without looking at it and just saw who won (without seeing what pieces or position were left). Thinking about it this was probably not OK, as knowing I was able to win could give me the psychological boost to help me do so. Isn't asking who's more likely to win the same?
Game 1102729
I know the whole game is full of oversights.
I started the thread at move 21. I played poorly from then on and lost easily, however I think If I was in this situation again I would always prefer to have the queen and pawns.
I've consider myself told off for using an in progress game to stimulate a debate on the principles of a rookless.
Finally, Rag's point of how protected the king is could be pivotal.
