Even so

Hi.
In:
"For Black it's either this move, or 4...O-O, which would lead to 5.Bxd8 and an insurmountable 10 to 3 advantage in force for White.Even so, Black is doomed."(from Play Winning Chess, p.137),

how does 'even so' differ from 'By the way'?

Thanks in advance

Hi soheil! "Even so" doesn't mean "By the way". Here "Even so" basically means that even if the Black player does what is suggested in the previous sentence(s), he is doomed (to lose).
