cxd5 /Rc2
forgive me guys i am getting my butt kicked by this guy akjoltoy lol and i was not able to come here often ..but at first i was looking at cxd5...Bxd5--------Rd2...Nc5 it did look good to me ,
but also i like ipsissmus move and it does have a potential too ! i am in any way you chose
elyhim
09-Feb-18, 05:08

My vote is Rc2
elyhim
09-Feb-18, 05:29

I think after 20. Rc2 they are on the brink of losing.

We definitely have a very solid position.

I can only imagine Cyrano was ignored at some point to allow it to get this far  
elyhim
09-Feb-18, 05:58

I think 16 ...Ned7 was a mistake.
clashofpawns
09-Feb-18, 06:03

I'm a little humbled because I was outvoted on a couple moves that I felt were mistakes on our side and we ended up in this excellent position.

I will have to revisit them. Of course my rating hasn't stabilized yet and is probably around 2400-2500 but I am currently still in the process of learning how to properly apply my skill set to this lovely time control we call correspondence.

I am learning from everyone here in various subtle ways.

elyhim /clashofpawns /and the rest of the team /Rc2
I know i shouldn't do it sneaking to other party thread ..but hey.. it is not us who are on the defense side since the beginning of this game ! and i wanted to know if cyrano had a say in Ned7?
results...he was not happy ! and i think he is not participating any more ! his last post on Feb 4
(my comment are not interesting to you guys and good luck !)
the cake is ready to be eating !! we just need the ice on it ! lol YEAH...RC2

"he was not happy ! and i think he is not participating any more"

Lol. I feel bad for him!

09-Feb-18, 08:26

YEs IMHO they should have played 16. Ng6 when we would have difficulty to make progress. If I was in his position I would continue but my competitiveness would come out too.

I vote 20.Rd2
threatening the black Q. Please cancel my previous 20.Qe1. I believe it is better than 20.Rc2 move because the black Q has to move out of the harm way.

we voted the move on Feb 9 and it was majority ! yet the move was done yesterday late and the rest of world team is bragging now that they won on time out !! can i ask why was the delay ??
clashofpawns
12-Feb-18, 03:17

canuktuff
I think you are confused. There is no bragging about time out. No one timed out. The game is continuing as normal with an advantage for white.
ipsissimus
12-Feb-18, 03:36

My postponement was never cancelled
When this move was made we still had well over a day to make our move. You should remember that I am still not well and mistakes could be made. The best way for you to help is not to allow such mistakes to be made.

They can brag all they want but they will lose. The main reason is that we are playing better than they are. The other thing is that the Dutch is unsound. This is not just my opinion it has been echoed by Masters throughout this defenses history. I know that Fiat Lux has many people that believe in this but I challenge the club to a match. They can play the black side of the Dutch Stonewall and they will lose every game.

Martin

Hmm. I'm not sure I agree with you about the Dutch!

But I'm not an expert in it so I will defer to your opinion for now.

i am sorry boss ..i saw this remarks by this player stalhandske
11-Feb-18, 20:45

Is the NA team giving up?
I suppose the NA team has given up, and RoW can now cheer about our win by timeout? The time limit is exceeded by 24 h

well in this case some one tell him please to cut it out lol
elyhim
12-Feb-18, 11:03

As far as know it was their move to play. Not ours

12-Feb-18, 19:31

Consider to vote 21.Qc1 next move.
clashofpawns
12-Feb-18, 22:40

> well in this case some one tell him please to cut it out lol

Indeed. If they wish to resign/forfeit they are welcome, but otherwise, the game marches on.

RoW has played 20...Qe7
The current position is:

NA to move

I vote 21.Qc1
Threatening 22.Ba3 and Blacks position is trash. I will post a more detailed analysis tomorrow.

Martin
clashofpawns
13-Feb-18, 01:43

I vote 21. Qc1
To support Ba3, double major pieces on semi-open file, defend backwards e pawn. Btw we have complete control over the open/close-ness of the c file. We can open it at any time.

After Qc1, black has a few choices, then we have 22. Ba3 Nc5 23. b4 Ncd7 24. b5 Nc5 25. cxd5 exd5

And if black plays 21..Nc5 we could also play b4 right away instead of Ba3.
