Abstract

The floods that swamped Mozambique recently, claiming many lives, seemed to arrive with scant notice. Climate forecasters do not have the tools for predicting the onset of such natural disasters – and neither do geologists. Help, however, may be on the way from an unlikely source: theoretical physics. Stimulated by precise satellite maps of the Earth's surface and by supercomputers, physicists have started to apply fundamental concepts of their craft to the Earth sciences.

White recaptures the pawn with 7.Qxd4 and stands clearly better. Attacking the g4-bishop with the queen and the d6-bishop with the pawn. After 9.Bxf3 10.exd6, Black cannot capture the pawn because the f3-bishop is, and after 10.Bh5 11.Re1+ Kf8 12.Qc5, attacking the bishop on h5 while threatening dxc7, winning the queen, White has a winning advantage.The move 6.Bg4 is the better move in this line. An example of a massacre where Black is on the losing side is as follows: 7.f6 8.Nc3 Bg4 9.e5! White again goes 6.d4, where Black can play either 6.exd4 or 6.Bg4.The move 6.exd4 is not the best move.
