I think overall it's a problem because you can't just not disturb your pawn structure anywhere, so wherever you castle black can just double rooks (or set up Alekhine's gun) and slam you.

White could've castled queenside after black did, but by then white had disturbed its pawn structure there. So castling kingside probably would've been bad. If the disadvantaged computer can draw a significant number of times against another similar computer, and if it can be tweaked to even be better at drawing, then the assumption is that against a top player with odds the computer might not win but might also rarely lose.Дaisuki: In the game black doubled rooks on the h file. That's why I think a chess computer's program would likely have to be altered to favor lines which have the best chances for drawing rather than trying to gain any sort of advantage. Certainly not the same strategy as one would use to win even-up. You don't have to promote the pawn but gain space on the Kside, exchange the lead for another then try to keep the pressure on that minority side and look to keep exchanging pawns. Related to pawn pushing, I'm obviously not advocating woodpusher pawn attacks but with the Knight on the a-file, O-O-O, and if the Rooks were connected without tempo loss it looks like White has at least a shot at equality. That doesn't exactly suggest proper play needed to achieve equality.

As in the game, the King moves 7 times by move 35 all on the back rank. Related to castling, that's my point the pawn's advantage actually turned into a disadvantage because the King would not castle.
