Move 26

Ah, a more aggressive move than I thought they'd make. I figured they'd pull back the bishop to defend their king. I will take a good look at this move and post my thoughts.

At the moment, my favoured move is Bxd4. If Black takes back d4 then we can get the pawn on f5. If Black takes g4 we can take e5 which will leave Black's pawns in disarray :smile:

Bishop from g4 to h3.

I like Bxd4. I see two ways they may proceed. These lines are actually better than if they had played the more conservative 25. ... Bf6.

26. Bxd4 c4
27. Qe4 fxe4
28. Bxc8 Bxd4
29. b7 Bb6
30. Ra8 Bc7
31. Ra4 e3

26. Bxd4 Bxd4
27. Bxf5 Qf8
28. Bxh7+ Kg7
29. Bf5 Qf7
30. b7 Qh5
31. Qg3+ Kh6

Either way we have them on the run.

David, do you also prefer Bxd4?

Bxd4 is fine. Not had as much Wi-Fi as expected this week sorry.
