CCC Forum v Daydreamer 1.61 + Dedicated (Chess 960)

IMO 24. Bg4 is the best move.
If 24. ..., Bxg4 25. Qxg4 and the f4 square is free for f2 pawn or g3 knight
24. ..., Bd2 only lose time. Doesn´t help black.


24. Rb7 can be refuted by 24. ..., Bd2 and now the white queen has to go to f3 and block own bishop path (25. Qf3, Be6).

24. g6+ !? should be taken into consideration. Chuck Norris would play it.

He surely would.

I think we have to get rid off that white squares black bishop. So:

24. Bg4 is also my move.

IMO this is not correct, after 24.Rb7 Bd2 25.Qf3 Be6 (?) white can play 26.Nf4 threatening 27.Nxe6 Rxe6 28.Rxf7. The obvious answer would be 26...Bxf4 (26...Bc8? 27.Rxf7 +-) 27.Qxf4 and this would be quite comfortable for white, giving full compensation for the pawn and also some opportunities for further kingside attack.

The blocking of white's own bishop path by Qf3 would therefore only be very temporary, I think.

So far we have:

3 votes for Bg4
1 vote for Rb7

Nick - if there's still a majority vote later, please accept our move on that basis. I will be at the dentist.

It looks like Bg4 will not be out voted. Taking 24. Bg4 as the Human move.
