Move 24 - Page 2

[QUOTE=WMHalsdorf;406730]Just figured out white's best reply to the immediate g5 is Ba6 which makes Rxa1 the best move for us.[/QUOTE]
Not sure what you mean here (Ba6 is impossible) but maybe it doesn't matter if we agree on 24...Rxa1 anyway.:smile:

At the moment we have all expressed preference for 24...Rxa1 then. But maybe there's more to think about?

Ba5 is what I meant. I expect they expect the following.
24...Rxa1 25.Rxa1 Rxb6

That move would seem to show a certain indecisiveness on their part, wouldn't it?:wink:

But what do [U]you[/U] think of that sequence?

It got us to commit to a strategy that would better done later.

As for 24...Rxa1 25.Rxa1 Rxb6 I'm still looking at it, it may lead to a draw.

Any update? We are down to just over 40 hours before we must seal the move, and if you disagree with davar55 and me then we'll need discussion time.

If I can't find something better within the next 12 hours from the time of this post I'll send the seal move.

Okay, just in case it wasn't clear I currently advocate 24...Rxa1 (follow-up can be discussed later at our leisure). And davar55 also indicated that move in his posting.
