Depends on what he wants.

He does not wish to return to this game. So you stay in.

move: h4

I don't like it, but it's probably our best move all things considered.

Night 26 begins now. 72 hour deadline.

Move: Re5

veerus · Post Post #1256 (ISO) » Wed Aug 26, 2009 3:37 pm

no that's terrible.. our 2 options are Rhe1 or gxf4

Goatrevolt · Post Post #1257 (ISO) » Wed Aug 26, 2009 4:19 pm

Move Re5

I think our Black players might have slipped up...

MOVE: GxF4

veerus · Post Post #1259 (ISO) » Thu Aug 27, 2009 12:27 pm

why are you both voting for Re5 w/o explanations when that move is our worst choice?

i'm actually leaning towards Rhe1 since that pins the bishop

It's not our worst choice. Look at it again.

ok fine, i see it, but i'm still not convinced it's better than the other options... i'll think about it

Rhe1 might be close to the same strength. It's straight up better than gxf4.

Black either completely missed something or else they're planning on being able to talk us out. Either way, let's not help them out.

ah2190 · Post Post #1264 (ISO) » Fri Aug 28, 2009 8:07 am

That's what I'm saying.

One mass prod, coming right up.

ah2190 · Post Post #1266 (ISO) » Sun Aug 30, 2009 9:04 am

Thanks. I was worried that everyone else had forgot about this!

Goatrevolt · Post Post #1267 (ISO) » Sun Aug 30, 2009 9:10 am

I haven't forgotten. I just have nothing to add. My vote is on the best move, and I encourage others to follow suit.

Move: Re5

Indigo Heron · Post Post #1271 (ISO) » Mon Aug 31, 2009 3:22 pm

I believe that gxf4 is not a good move. It's incredibly short-sighted, enough said.

Re5 isn't very good either, at least when I compare it to either Qd3 or Nxh7.

Qd3 Qf8 Nxh7 Kxh7 g4 Kh8 gxf5 Rc7 Rxa6 Bf6 Rf1 f3 and really, Black is screwed all over.

OR....

Nxh7 Bf8 Ng5 Rf6 gxf4 Rc7 Kc1 Rxc2 Kxc2 Qc8 Kb1 and Black is still screwed, but at least he goes down trading pieces.

I've yet to make up my mind, but I will. In the meantime, I beseech you to unvote and discuss the new moves first.

Abstract Actuary · Post Post #1272 (ISO) » Tue Sep 01, 2009 2:39 am

Unmove

Wow, at first I was dismissive, but I think Indigo Heron may be right. I love Qd3. In fact, I would go as far as to call it 'Qd3!'.

Move: Qd3

Indigo Heron · Post Post #1273 (ISO) » Tue Sep 01, 2009 4:03 am

I'm convinced in Qd3.

Move: Qd3

veerus · Post Post #1274 (ISO) » Tue Sep 01, 2009 2:55 pm

IH, that's brilliant.

unmove;move: Qd3
