I'm going to go with Bf8 as my vote
Bg1 is OK, but I think Bf8 looks better, and I prefer either to Bb6

Bb6

Best,

Gerold.

He will force the B trade next. Than we lose.
No way out of this one. :)

This move or Ray's move will be about the same.
Got to change over to Bf8. Maybe we can avoid the B
trade again when it comes up.
Again Steve i change my Vote To Bf8 Thanks.

Best,

Gerold.

well i guess we must play on until the position is such that the players feel its correct to resign
i do think though that if we hit the 6 Piece EGTB that the game should be awarded to the R30
wouldn't want to have to run the R30 for another month and Another 20-30 moves against a table base in a clearly won position

Another 10 to 15 moves should show if black can get the draw.
It not i think we should resign and start that other game that
Ray wants to play.

Yes, let's set move limit at 85 and analyse that final position with 3 top engines if game result still unclear.
