Move 23
 

Pawn from h2 to h3.

No, no, no! Our queen is being attacked :rolleyes:

Oops. That was entirely wrong.

I'll change my move to moving the queen from d3 to e4.

That will leave our knight exposed. :down:

Better is to take the knight with ours -- it is just a different order of moves already presented by richs, but can we capitalise? :smile:

Yes, this is a shuffle of the move sequence I posted. I am looking further before recommending Nxe5.

Looks like Nxe5 here. Not sure whether they should take back with the bishop or pawn. My inclination is the say the bishop leaves a nice position for them.

Me: Nxe5
David: Nxe5
richs: unsure about Nxe5
retina: h3

We have a day or two left to play this move :smile:

I agree with Nxe5. If they take the knight with their bishop, here is how I think it will go:

23. Nxe5 Bxe5
24. Bc3 Rxa1
25. Rxa1 Bf6
26. h4 Qe8
27. Ra6 Kg7
28. b4 Qb5
29. Qxb5 Nxb5
30. Bxf6+ Kxf6

With either the pawn take or the bishop take, we are ahead in material and position.
