Which move would you have made?

gameknot.com

I debated moving the knight from a1 to b2 forcing him to use his king to take my knight but I went for taking the pawn instead. In the end I figured it was better to take the pawn off the board than taking away the option to castle (assuming that my opponent was going to take the knight regardless of my move). I guess I could have done something not involving the knight, but I wanted to get something out of losing him. What might you have done and why?

Please wait until after the game is over before asking such questions

Agree with heinzkat...

... any answer we might give might well have an influence on the game, so it were best if this question not be asked at this point.

Probably it is better to wait until the end of the game, but if you really were impatient for an answer, why not simply wait until a half-dozen moves have gone by, and then put the question 'out there'? Then any answers will be unlikely to have an influence on the game.

Incidentally, there is a third option you didn't mention. Perhaps we can take up this thread later on and explore the position.

Cheers,
Ion

Yes, I'm with you Ion

... You know what I mean

This will make a very interesting Question when the time is more appropriate for response.

I see your point

My intention was not to gain any sort of advantage, but I (now) see how any answers could give an advantage to me, or my opponent. I look forward to bumping this thread after the game and gaining some insight.
