caknight 09-Feb-11, 11:40	29...Nxb6 Avoids doubling the pawns & helps cover d5.
hityerclock 09-Feb-11, 15:06	29...Nxb6 And now we can start targeting the weakling on c2.
andywm 09-Feb-11, 15:36	As expected we now move KnxQ
opengames 09-Feb-11, 18:34	My vote Our move 29...Nxb6, as I mentioned earlier. The c-file is open for one of our Rooks, too.
sacul219 11-Feb-11, 14:57	Nxb6 Nxb6 gets my vote..
dmaestro 11-Feb-11, 23:50	Agree, Nxb6 is the logical result of our plan to exchange Qs, relieving the pressure. We are at least equal now.
doji 13-Feb-11, 00:03	Okay, I will post 29... Nxb6

caknight 16-Feb-11, 12:25	30...Be4 30...Be4 else we lose the bishop.
sacul219 16-Feb-11, 14:51	I agree 30...Be4 is the best move i agree also
opengames 16-Feb-11, 16:17	My vote for our next move What about 30...h6! White's Rook on g5 is trapped. If 31.Rxf5, gxf5; 32. gxf5, Kh7 followed by ...Rg8, controlling the open g-file. We trade a Bishop + pawn for a Rook. If instead 30...Be4, I expect 31.f5. I prefer the imbalance and slight material gain of my first suggestion, 30...h6.
hityerclock 16-Feb-11, 18:19	30...Be4 30...h6 31.Rxf5 etc. is good for black, but white doesn't have to take with the rook: 30...h5 31.gxf5 hxg5 32.fxg5 and next white will play Rf4->Rh4->Rh8#. We'll have to give back the material to prevent the mate, and the white K-side pawns look really good. However, After 30....Be4, 31...h6 really is a threat.
sacul219 16-Feb-11, 19:02	I like hityerclocks comment about the K-side pawns, although h6 looks good, the Rook-Bishop exhange leaves g and h, and possible f, very weak with a few pawns and possibly the Rook on d7. h6 should be after Be4, and I think we have a great chance of a draw here
andywm 17-Feb-11, 13:24	b4 or h6 either looks good to me

andywm 17-Feb-11, 15:36	CLARIFICATION be4 or h6 both work for me
dmaestro 18-Feb-11, 01:06	Be4 be4, because then how does white extricate the rook?
doji 19-Feb-11, 11:10	I will... post 30. Be4 than!!!

sacul219 22-Feb-11, 12:42	h6 I vote 31...h6
hityerclock 22-Feb-11, 15:14	Wow ... Doesn't 31...h6 win here? What am I missing? Methinks our opponents have blundered ...
andywm 22-Feb-11, 16:58	Of Course 31. h6....then 32. pe6, pxp..33. Re5, 34. Kf7
opengames 22-Feb-11, 18:12	31...h6! What else!?? And, our Bishop can't be captured by White's Rook. I see no attack from White that compensates for losing his Rook...
andywm 23-Feb-11, 16:12	White's Rook may be safe if you see my scenario above
opengames 23-Feb-11, 18:58	31...h6; 32.e6, Rd6; 33.exf7+, Kxf7; 34.Be5, Rc6 What about this continuation?
sacul219 23-Feb-11, 23:37	White can get safe, but after pe6, if we exchange rooks, then Nxe6, then our p can't be taken because the knight is threatening the now undefended Bishop on f6. 31. h6, 32. e6 hxg5 33. exd7 Nxd7? Then if 34. Bxg5 Rxf8, doesn't that give us momentum and tempo?
sacul219 23-Feb-11, 23:40	I apologize the pawn can be captured, but not without compromising Whites King-side pawns, or as I said, allowing us to play more attacking...
caknight 24-Feb-11, 12:05	31...h6? 31...h6 32.e6 fxe6 33.Re5 Kf7 34.g5 31...h6 32.e6 Rd6 33.exf7+ (33.Re5 is better for white) Kxf7 34.Be5 Rc6 is good but white won't follow this line. 31...h6 32.e6 hxg5 33.exd7 Nxd7 34.Bxg5 (White should play 34.fxg5 opening the f-file for their rook) What about 31...a5! 32.e6 fxe6 33.Bd4 Rd6 34.Bxb6 Rxb6 35.a4 bxa4 36.Bxa4 Rc8 & black is much better.
hityerclock 24-Feb-11, 14:00	31...a5 wins, too ... When 31.h4 was posted, I took a quick look at the position and decided that the obvious 31...h6 would win, so I didn't bother to look any further, but 31...a5 looks really good, too, though instead of 34.Bxb6 as in caknight's variation, I think 34.c3 is more likely, as white will want to trade off our B on e4 with a subsequent Bc2. But even so, black is clearly winning. I wouldn't give give 31...h6 a "?", though. After 31...h6 32.e6 fxe6 33.Re5 Kf7 34.g5, I still thank white is dead lost. For example, 34...a5 looks like it gives white some serious headaches, and they seem to have less counterplay than in the 31...a5 continuation.
