ace-of-aces could you show the lien you used to arrive at this position?

Respectfully
The line I gave is forced up to Nd4. After that black has two main defenses. Bb7, Rac8

if 14...Bb7 then 15. h3 Nh6 16. Qd4 Nf7 17. Rfc1 white has an enduring edge.
If 14. Rac8 then white plays 15. a4 Ngxe5 (15. ...dxc4 16. Nxc6 rxc6 17. Bxc6 Ndxe5 +=) 16.axb6 axb6 17. Ne2 white has the edge still.

In conclusion it is my opinion that the move 12. Ne5 gives many more pitfalls to avoid. Some pitfalls that even cyrano may have difficult seeing all the way through.

there is a miscalculation there in your line ..if Bb7 we cant play h3 because black simply takeE5 ?? and we lose all our little advantage !Knight will not goes Nh6

canuktuff.
White N is on e2 and there is no way, we can go back to Nf3. Nd3 can go back to Nf3 but this is the subsequent move.

I vote 12. Rc1
before considering white's Nf3 jump to e5. I will switch to Rc1 from my previous move Ne5 to save the white's pawn.

----------------------
Thanks for your comment but that is not true. I have an average brain. You can figure out the many moves on abalysis chess board. GK has analysis board which is more convenient than real chess board analysis because we can do it in short time and no misplacement of chess pieces and pawns. I wish I have a photographic memory and imaginary chess board in my memory. I prefer OTB chess tournaments which prohibit extra analysis board, books, computers, coach etc. This is the real test of the chess game.

My vote is 12.Ne5
You say, "What?".

If

------ Nxe5
dxe5 Bxe5
Bxe5

and black has lost a piece!

If Bxe5 the result is the same. Black must leave our well posted Knight alone! From e5 it protects our c4 pawn.

White is better! This hole at e5 is one of the weaknesses of the Dutch Defense. I think the Dutch is unsound!

I’ll support that move because the Dutch works well when we don’t attack it’s weaknesses

i dont think they will tolerate our knight on e5 boss ..but i would like to know where we are going with this move ? are we following the previous mentioned sequence ?ne5...Bxe5..........dxe5...ng4.....nd4 and wait to see if they play Bb7 or Rc8 ? or what is the plan here ?

as i said before ..i will vote either way Rc1 or Ne5
ace-of-aces
12-Jan-18, 07:14

If Ipsi votes 12. Ne5 ---Bxe5
Black will respond with 12...Bxe5 and not by 12....Nxe5 which is his wishful thinking. Please check the following serial diagrams.

after 12....Bxe5

The sequence of Ipsi's moves are
12.Ne5---Bxe5
13.dxe5--Ng4
and then how will White defend e5 pawn ? If White defends e5 by f4, Black's .....Ng4 will capture d3, that is Nxd3 after which White will lose R because of fork --White's R & Q.
I prefer prophylactic 12.Rc1 move first.

It does not matter
Which way black takes because the result is the same and of course we lose a pawn but we have a much better position. The probable response from black is N5xe5 but now we drive the night away with f4 which will probably drive the Knight back to g4 and we control Blacks weak e5 hole.

If Rc1 is played. the resulting position is not bad and probably brings Rac8. This position however is not as good as the one we get with my continuation although we are playing a pawn down in my version.

ipsissimus
you are right .but i checked out the f4 ..knight goes back to g4 (it will give us a good advantage ) i don't think they will play it ..but they will go back to f7 threatening our pawn on d6 and in return we will be deep in their territory and taking c6 on the way to equalise the material ..here is how i see it
nd4...rac8..........cxd5...Bxf1..........d6...Qe8..........Qxf1...ngxe5.........f4....nf7.........nxc6...nxd6

if ng4.......nxc6...and we got some good play coming !

so here is the question again ..is this our plan ? because at the end of this fight neither we or them got an advantage ! except may be the bragging rights of being deep in this area lol !

I really can't decide between the two moves I mentioned. I will go with whichever of those two options has the majority.
ace-of-aces
12-Jan-18, 13:05

12.Rac1 versus Ne5 move.
I can agree with CoP that it is difficult to say which move is better. The beauty of the chess is that there are so many alternative moves, we cannot predict the final outcome. According to my analysis that I showed before, if we follow Ipsi's move we have a slight advantage at move 34. I will follow with the majority flow.
ipsissimus

With correct play
Either move arrives at positions which are approximately equal but my move produces more complications and I am hoping that they will lose their way. This gets so complicated that even cyrano might not be able to calculate accurately. I have beat this thing to death and can not go further than I have at this time.

canuktuff you are correct they probably play Nf7.

I speculate that if 12.Rac1----Ne4
will be Black's response. The Black N will be untouchable for a moment and will be very powerful at the center in the following diagram below. The alternative move is 12....Rad8. In both moves, the position is equal.
canuktuff
12-Jan-18, 18:00

Ne5
ok then we are going for war lol..Ne5 is my final vote
ace-of-aces
12-Jan-18, 18:20

canuktuff.
Can you please clarify, when do you want White's Ne5 move ? at 11.Nef in current position or 13.Ne5 in my latest diagram, sacrificing a pawn. At least you have to explain the advantage of pawn sacrifice to justify your move.
canuktuff
12-Jan-18, 20:14

Ne5
its now ..move 12 ..but we still waiting on the rest of the field, so far i think ipsissmus..and me confirming ne5
elyhim
12-Jan-18, 20:18

I started the Ne5 bandwagon
canuktuff
12-Jan-18, 20:25

explanation
as for why the pawn sacrifice ..we will not lose a pawn but will exchange rock with a Bishop.
here is the sequence ..ne5...Bxe5......dxe5...ng4.........Nd4...Rac8.......cxd5...Bxf1......d6...Qe8
Qxf1...ngxe5...........f4...Nf7........Nxc6...Nxd6

but only if they played it this way .

history in the making ...simon(me ) is calculating 16 moves !! hurrrayyy lolol thanks to all these discussions lol
canuktuff
12-Jan-18, 20:27

elyhim
sorry boss ..yes ...so we are three confirming ne5
ace-of-aces
12-Jan-18, 20:34

Sorry for my error of move 11.Ne5. Yes, it will be 12.Nef if majority agree. I speculate and expect that Black will respond with 12.....Bxe5. and white will respond with 13.dxe5---Ng4
