gonefromgk 08-Feb-10, 07:00	31. ... Qd6 I was thinking 31. ... Qd6, getting the queen more into play, and maybe then capturing the a- pawn.
antagonistknight 08-Feb-10, 07:19	31. ... Qd6 I agree with oldgus, Qd6 is best here.

sonata296 08-Feb-10, 07:29	maybe... maybe Qd7 is better because you attack the pawn at g4 and you can safely take the a4 pawn with the bishop, because if you do it now, Bd5+ comes, and you can say bye bye to your queen.
fatcat2 08-Feb-10, 07:59	31...Qd6 Looks fine to me. In addition to the comments made above, there is also the possibility of back-rank tactics if White is careless.
kendo-ka 08-Feb-10, 10:59	31...Qd6 I'm voting for Qd6 although I can't see it being much better than Qd7.
thegoodbishop 08-Feb-10, 12:45	31...Qd6 I am also voting for Qd6,
andywm 08-Feb-10, 16:43	Move 31 Qd7 is the play here guys..it attacks white's p and later on his B. This is much better than Qd6..think it through! We also stand to win another p easily.
tennesseehiker 09-Feb-10, 04:24	31. Bxa4 My vote is Bxa4.
brigadecommander 09-Feb-10, 05:37	you can;t play Bxa4????????????????????????? if you do that then31... Bd5 ch!! and your dead!!!! 31....Qd6 is your best move
tennesseehiker 09-Feb-10, 05:39	Change of Vote 31. Qd6 Thanks for the explanation, Janet.
doji 14-Feb-10, 13:49	31... Qd6 is posted to Unknown!!
caknight 14-Feb-10, 18:40	Move 31... First off I think one ? to Bxa4 was enough, we should remember this is about sharing ideas not about putting someone down. While tennesseehiker's rating is much lower than brigadecommanders at least he is making a contribution. I like 31...Qd7 a slight bit beter than Qd6.

gonefromgk 17-Feb-10, 10:05	Oh my goodness There are so many candidate moves to look at that it gave me a headache. I looked at only one line and I have no idea how it compares to the others: 33. ... Qd1 34. Kg1 Bc4 (not Qxg4 because of the pin - I thought Kg1 was a cute little move for white) 35. Be5 Bxf1 36. Rxf1 Qxd4+ 37. Bg3 b3
gonefromgk 17-Feb-10, 10:11	oops.... typo I meant 36. ... Qxg4+
sonata296 17-Feb-10, 10:25	Qc6+...? how about Qc6+ Qc6+ Kg1 Qxa4 Idea?
gonefromgk 17-Feb-10, 10:34	sonata's idea It looks like lines beginning with Qc6+ are as good or better than the one I looked at.
ionadowman 17-Feb-10, 11:04	i rather like... ... oldgus's idea. After 33...Qd1, Black is threatening 34...Bd5+, which just about forces the reply 34.Kg1 or 34.h3 (h4 might be possible...). So: [a] 33...Qd1 34.h3 Bc4 35.Kg2 Bxf1+ 36.Rxf1 Qxa4 37.Bc1 (hoping to get in Bh6 at some point) 37...Qc6 and then start shoving pawns. [b] 33...Qd1 34.kg1 Bc4 35.Be5 (what else?) 35...Bxf1 36.Rxf1 and Black has the pleasant choice of pawns to win.
dungeonking 17-Feb-10, 11:05	I agree with Sonata here Qc6+ seems to be in order here.
andywm 17-Feb-10, 15:47	Hmmmm What about Q d1. This forks his B and may win us a p. We need to to start taking some of his pieces off the board and a few pawns here and maybe a B later w/ an exchange will help.
caknight 17-Feb-10, 16:09	32...Qd1 Black must be aware of Bc4+ if he plays Bxa4 After 32...Qc6+ 33.Kg1 Bxa4 is ok With 32...Qd1 33.h3 Bxa4 34.Kh2 Bb3 & the connected passed pawns will become deadly.
ionadowman 17-Feb-10, 22:28	The idea behind 32...Qd1 ... (Sorry - I copied from oldgus's line, instead of checking back to see what move we are on. ) The idea behind 32...Qd1 is not (NOT) to play ...Bxa4. The bishop has for the time being to stay on the a2-g8 diagonal. Rather, the purpose is to force an exchange of light squared bishops, then to take the a4 pawn (or the g4-pawn if it is available and we deem it preferable - though given the choice I'd still take the a4 myself). After that line, White's counterplay has been sharply reduced.
kendo-ka 18-Feb-10, 10:46	32...Qg6 I vote for Qg6 then at some point the queen can move to b1 attacking both bishops while pinning the light square bishop to the king.
doji 21-Feb-10, 10:26	Seems that 32... Qd1 has the most votes: 32... Qd1: oldgus, ionadowman, andywm, caknight 32... Qc6+: sonata, oldgus, dungeonking 32... Qg6: kendo-ka So, I will post 32... Qd1.
andywm 22-Feb-10, 19:18	Smart Move Thanks everyone....we should see the fruit of this move...looks good at this point. Let's see how unknown responds.

tennesseehiker 27-Feb-10, 00:42	Move 33 Qe1 I recommend and vote for Qe1.
caknight 27-Feb-10, 00:50	33...Bc4 I like the idea of trading off the light square bishops with 33...Bc4 35.Kg2 Bxf1+ 36.Rxf1 Qxa4
