I don't see the position, did you forget to include it?

Thank you. Crazy position indeed...

I'm not really surprised it evaluates as slightly better for white. I suppose the more relevant question is how much better white could have been if he played seriously and black was as passive as here.

"Pawns are the traffic cones of chess" is the correct quote.
Not for KNIGHT but it is true.

Beginners should be taught to play chess, not to follow a onedimensional dogmatic set of "opening rules" thinking if their opponent ignores it they must be easily winning. Chess is way more complex than that and realizing the relative nature of opening principles can be a not-so-nice experience. Beginner books never show how to punish the violation of opening principles. Also I like to say that the middlegame starts from move 1.

José Raúl Capablanca learnt a lot from his predecessor, Emmanuel Lasker, who wrote a book (Course of Chess) teaching the fundamentals. He reigned more than twenty years as World chess champion, while Capablanca lasted six years after being bitten by Alekhine in 1927.
