tennesseehiker 11-Nov-09, 11:55	Move 15. Nxe5 We have 2 choices here . . . Nxf2 (exchaning our knight for a rook netting 2 points) or Nxe5 (netting 3 points as our knight would then be protected by our queen). My vote is for Nxe5.
kendo-ka 12-Nov-09, 03:12	Move 15 I vote for 15...Nxe5
kendo-ka 12-Nov-09, 03:23	Material If we play Nxe5 we equalize the material remember our opponent has already taken a knight. 3 - 3 = 0 If however we take the rook instead of the knight, white wins both our knights for a rook. 15...Nxf2 16.Qxf2 (5 - 3) - 3 = -1 so our opponent is ahead by a pawn.
antagonistknight 12-Nov-09, 05:18	Going back to my post for the last move 15. ... Nxe5 is best.
brigadecommander 12-Nov-09, 12:00	15...Nxe5 is best. Black will also have to contest the open D-file.
duke58 12-Nov-09, 22:33	Move 15 I also vote for Nxe5.
doji 12-Nov-09, 23:08	I have... posted 15... Nxe5.
thegoodbishop 14-Nov-09, 15:12	whys this thread dead??? 15. Nxe5 Nxe5 16. Bxe5 Qxe5 ?
antagonistknight 14-Nov-09, 16:17	We are waiting for "unknown" to move.
thegoodbishop 14-Nov-09, 21:47	....well thats embarasing
doji 15-Nov-09, 03:44	The thread is dead because I forgot to post 15... Nxe5 to Unknown, sorry, will do it right away, sorry for the delay!! My fault, not Unknowns.....
tennesseehiker 15-Nov-09, 03:47	. . . Don't be so hard on yourself, doji. You are only one person, and I know from my own experience, one often gets bogged down with responsibilites outside of chess. We really appreciate all the time and effort you put into this and other club challenge.   Jim
doji 15-Nov-09, 03:49	I'm not hard on myself, but nothing wrong with an excuse every now and then, and thank U for the compliment!!
duke58 15-Nov-09, 09:29	mistake If we are not allowed to make mistakes we will not grow in life...no big deal Doji

easy19 15-Nov-09, 23:55	My Vote 16...Rfd8 Rad8 is also good but i like to keep that pawn covered.. so i go for the less obvious move. 16...Rfd8
antagonistknight 16-Nov-09, 05:19	16. ... Rfd8 is best as easy19 suggested.
paolo2504 16-Nov-09, 06:14	My Vote 16...Rfd8 ...even if i would not be personally so worried on doing instead: 16...Rad9.
duke58 16-Nov-09, 08:59	Test my vote 16... c5 Rfd8 is not a bad move. Test the following for me..16..c5 17 Bxc5..Qxc5. Or 17 BxNe5 .. QxBe5 18 Bxc5 .. Qxc5.
antagonistknight 16-Nov-09, 10:28	That will not turn out the way you are expecting, here is how it would turn out most likely 16. ... c5 17. Qc3 f6 (forced, otherwise we lose our knight and queen for white's queen)18. Qxc5 Qxc5 bxc5 and white will continue to trade down to a drawn endgame.
kendo-ka 16-Nov-09, 16:47	16...Rfd8 I vote for 16...Rfd8 Perhaps a5 is next?
duke58 16-Nov-09, 21:11	..Rfd8 Thanks antagonistknight, did'n see the queen going that route. I vote for Rfd8
tennesseehiker 16-Nov-09, 21:12	Move16. Rfd8 I, too, vote for Rfd8 as rooks belong in open holes.
doji 16-Nov-09, 23:54	The move is posted!!!!

antagonistknight 17-Nov-09, 09:10	17. ... f6 17. ... f6
kendo-ka 17-Nov-09, 16:07	I vote for f6 too.
brigadecommander 17-Nov-09, 18:31	of course 17....f6
tennesseehiker 17-Nov-09, 20:20	17. f6? Could someone please explain to me the reason behind f6 at this juncture? Thanks.
