4≈24

[Raman]

May be that 24...b5 might be [COLOR=Black]good enough...

It immediately prevents intrusion of white queen at a4 square, being white coloured square,

[/COLOR][COLOR=Black][COLOR=White][COLOR=Black] [COLOR=White],[/COLOR] [/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=Black]over thereby[/COLOR][COLOR=Black][COLOR=White][COLOR=Black] [COLOR=White],[/COLOR] [/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]
[COLOR=Black]
and then therefore protects against subsequent threats of a7 pawn, invasion of queen inside, etc.

[COLOR=White],[/COLOR] On[/COLOR][COLOR=Black][COLOR=White][COLOR=Black] to[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=Black] the other hand [COLOR=White],[/COLOR] we can be able to play exf4 even later on
[COLOR=White]to, towards,
now onwards,[/COLOR]
as since, as their own white pawn [/COLOR][COLOR=Black]on to f4 square is being pinned by using black rook [/COLOR][COLOR=Black]at f8 square ...
Or they cannot play either fxe5 [COLOR=Black]by[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=White] using[/COLOR][COLOR=Black][COLOR=White] [COLOR=Black]right now itself[/COLOR] either to be being done enough ever okay alright and then that way away but that which[/COLOR]
no hurry at all for the [COLOR=White]r r r r
[COLOR=Black]exf4[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Black]but that ... b5 ... which [COLOR=White]on[/COLOR] to be [COLOR=White]being[/COLOR] needed immediately enough [COLOR=White],[/COLOR] right that [COLOR=White],[/COLOR] way [COLOR=White],[/COLOR] away [COLOR=White],[/COLOR]
[COLOR=White],[/COLOR] [/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=Black]On[/COLOR][COLOR=Black][COLOR=White][COLOR=Black] to[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=Black] the other hand[/COLOR][COLOR=Black][COLOR=White] ,

[QUOTE=LaurV;335663]btw, how we do if everyone votes differently? I understand people don't like exf4? Rethink? Time left?[/QUOTE]
That's what the captain is for.

Captain, your opinion? Time to move?
(It is of course granted that the deadline is soft, as agreed by both teams, but still, - you may want to tell something to the other team if you wanted a continuance.)

Hmm... while there's something to be said for opening the left side, I personally still like b5, to shut down their queen even more; further, I've generally overridden Raman in favor of LaurV, and I think it's time to do the opposite (since it's 2-2, vote-wise).

[LaurV]

Hehe, ok, all my analysis gone now, have to start again. I don't know why I discarded b5... Let's see where this new game takes us...

Anyhow, sm88 agreed with exf4 in his last post, we were 3 against 1. You are the despotic captain! Tyrant... Bad Dubslow! Bad! :razz:

Let's see what they reply to this...

my guess for their reply is b3 since it can be used to capture and or be captured to open the queen.

Probably not.
[COLOR=White] at all[/COLOR]
Possibly I doubt it, quite directly ...
[COLOR=White] pushed away onto[/COLOR]
Potentially enough ... they will do 25. a4 / 25. b3 and then barrier is being broken [COLOR=White]is[/COLOR]

[/COLOR][COLOR=Black][COLOR=White]along within alone onto[/COLOR]
25. h4 will be goo[/COLOR]d enough for the case... for them...
[COLOR=White][strike]25. h3 will not be good enough for the case... for them... for the case... for them... 25...Bxh3+ lurks out off r r ever r r for the r r[/strike][/COLOR]

You posted previously / formerly that you didn't like 24...exf4
I gave away within onto 24...b5 as an alternative substitute into it...
[COLOR=White]into it[/COLOR]
Do you think that 24...Bd7 / 24...Be6 / 24...Bf5 / 24...Bg4 / 24...Bh3+ are all being equally good enough at all?
[COLOR=White] away within onto into it[/COLOR]
over thereby, equivalently, therefore, [COLOR=White]into it, within onto to be being done enough / good / bad / that way, away, but that which that way, away

along within alone onto 24...Ba6 / 24...Bb7 / 24...Bxe4 / 24...Ba8 / 24...Bc6 / 24...Bd5?[/COLOR]
