Move 35 - Page 3

Brian-E · 2014-07-07, 15:34

[QUOTE=paulunderwood;377569]On second thoughts, we might move like this:

35...Bb4
36.Nxe7 Bxe7
37.Ra7 Nc3
38.Bg4 Ke8
39.Ra6 Bb4
40.Rxg6 Bd2

Looks okay -- sorry if this is not a new line :unsure:[/QUOTE]
After 35...Bb4 36.Nxe7 Bxe7 37.Ra7 Nb3 (you meant that?) then Rich's move 38.Bf1 seems to refute as in the line in post #17.

I definitely prefer your suggestion of the initial bishop check at move 36.

It will need looking at; Keeping the White King on a dark square threatens a fork by our Bishop at some stage. :smile:

Well, one thing which should focus our minds is finding out whether they are indeed going to play 36.Nxe7. So, should we get on and play 35...Bb4 in the meantime? Or does anyone think any other 35th move is worth considering? (We still have about four days, of course, so it's obviously fine if anyone does want to consider any other move.)

Your discussion aptly points out why I did the initial bishop check (to gum up their bishop). I'm for Bb4.

Bb4

paulunderwood · 2014-07-10, 19:41

I too favour Bb4, but let's leave it to the last moment to play it :wink:

So do I favour 35...Bb4. Can I ask, Paul, if you have any particular reason for wanting to delay?

paulunderwood · 2014-07-10, 20:42

Yes, I find the quick pace does not give me enough time to analyse the positions. :smile:

Okay.:smile:

Just under 3 hours to our deadline as I write this. I assume we're playing 35...Bb4 then?

Yep :smile:
