Yep. Easyjet :( but one can't argue with their price. London - Zurich return at £56 - and I can't bring myself to pay BA triple that.

Thanks indeed for posting your move. I was very curious what it would be.
How close was Rg5 followed by Bh5 or Qf6?

Both led to some very interesting end-games. I believe but can't yet prove that White wins after Rg5 Kh1 Bh6. Not sure yet about Qf6 instead of Bh6.

I actually expected you to play Bf7 as it led to the most forcing route with fewer variations, and I figured you'd want to avoid positions giving White too many choices or traps :)

More close than you think :)

Indeed!  Democracy sucks. ;-)
Parent - - By Highendman (****) Date 2009-12-08 21:43
Too bad on my end. Had it gone the other way - Rg6+ followed by Qf6 or Bh5 I believe I'd had higher chance of winning this game. I spent a lot of time on these moves and found some cool plans as well as some very deep moves. Would be fun to compare notes.

So I believe your team did the right thing with your Bf7 :)
Parent - - By Rowlando (***) Date 2009-12-08 22:54
Bh5 definitely looked busted but Qf6 looked like the easier draw to my eyes.  I'd very much like to see what you had for this line.
Parent - By Highendman (****) Date 2009-12-08 22:58
Fully agree - Bh5 is busted. On Qf6 I had some very nice lines but didn't cover everything yet :)
It branches wildly - which again was one of the reasons I'd feel good in there as I couldn't find any easier forcing draw there
I found the Bf7 approach you opted for the most forcing drawing attempt for Black.

I'll go put some order to my Qh6 analysis and post it here for your review and counter comments :)

:) Cool - everyone still plays the moves my cluster expected a week ago :)
Parent - By oudheusa (*****) [nl] Date 2009-12-08 07:21

Does the cluster find a forced win after 31.. Rg5 ?
Parent - - By Uly (Gold) [mx] Date 2009-12-08 07:29
Does the cluster see anything but 0.00's in the other game?
Parent - By Lukas Cimiotti (Bronze) [de] Date 2009-12-08 08:15
The cluster is under construction atm. But the last time I looked at that game it was 0.00

As an OTB player, i would not go for piece exchanges as black. Definitely not Rooks and Bishops

A suggestion for your consideration - how about fast forwarding the next 4-5 moves, which imho are forced for both sides, to get to somewhere where we need to think again?

What I mean is it's now your move 33 - you have about 3 hours to play it at the time of this post.

1. e4 c5 2. b4 cxb4 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. e5 Nd5 5. a3 e6 6. axb4 Bxb4 7. Na3 Nc6 8. c4 Nde7 9. Nc2 O-O 10. Nxb4 Nxb4 11. Ba3 Nec6 12. Qb1 a5 13. Bd3 f5 14. Be2 d5 15. exd6 Qxd6 16. d4 Bd7 17. Qb2 Be8 18. O-O Bh5 19. Rfd1 Rae8 20. Rd2 b6 21. Rad1 Re7 22. h3 h6 23. Qb3 Rc8 24. Bb2 Nd8 25. g4 fxg4 26. Ne5 Be8 27. d5 exd5 28. Bxg4 Ndc6 29. Bxc8 Nxe5 30. Bxe5 Rxe5 31. cxd5 Bf7 32. Be6

That's where we are at the moment, and your move.

I'm suggesting 32. ..Bxe6 33. dxe6 Qxe6 34. Rd8+ Kh7 35. Qxe6 Rxe6 37. R8d6 ... your move again, 24 hours to go.

Just skipping the 5 days it would take us to get there - probably a boring wait for all of us?

You gave us a very short time to decide on this, didn't you? :), I think we need to discuss this, meanwhile I'm taking your line as a conditional (as an instant reply to our moves.)

Absolutely, please do :)
And TIA for your team's consideration of this FF suggestion.
