The Adorjan Series to Date

Today marks three months since I started my latest analytical series, a look at GM Andras Adorjan's 'Black Is OK!' thesis. I started with an overview of its basic principles.

• 2013-02-28: Is Adorjan OK? • Introduction to Adorjan's 'Black Is OK!' series.
• 2013-03-07: Adorjan's 'Presumption of Innocence' • The structure of the 'Black Is OK!' series.
• 2013-03-14: Adorjan on the Keres Attack • An example of Adorjan's analysis for Black.
• 2013-03-24: 'Black Is OK' - 12 Discussion Points • Arguments in support of the 'Black Is OK' thesis.

Then I looked at two practical applications of the thesis.

• 2013-03-30: Random Position, Random Results? • Chess960 and 'Black Is OK'.
• 2013-04-25: The Mysterious Third • Portisch: Two-thirds of openings are disadvantageous for BLACK.

GM Jonathon Rowson has given some serious thought to Adorjan's viewpoint.

• 2013-04-30: Not Lost at the Outset • 'Chess for Zebras' by Rowson.
• 2013-05-09: The Language of Logic • Rowson: 'The role of [an] initial assessment [is] not to be right or wrong in any absolute sense, but to make a good guess.'

The latest posts digressed into the coding of assessments.

• 2013-05-16: Informant No.1, Game No.1 • The Informant code system.
• 2013-05-21: Chess NAGs • Unicode for the Informant system.

That makes an even ten posts to date. I might very well find another ten subtopics for further treatment.
