CCC Forum v Daydreamer 1.61 + Dedicated (Chess 960)

[Aaron Becker]

f5. I feel good about the squeeze we're applying on the kingside, but we really need to convert this attack or else the pawn we gave up will come back to haunt us. I wonder what daydreamer and mdc think of the current position.

h5 needs to be considered too. That will allow to place a monster Knight on f5.

After f5, black f6 is forced. We should play Nf4-Ngh5-gxf6. We are in really good shape.
I cannot make my mind between these two options. It is a matter of tactics now.

So far we have:

2 Votes for: 27. f5

and not sure if Miguel is voting for f5 or h5?

Anyway I will leave it for another 4 hours until Graham gets here before I take the Forum move.

So there is still plenty of time for everyone to vote!!

Best regards

Ok, blitz decision: I vote for f5

If I am not wrong, f5 has 4 votes so far (Paul, Aaron, Miguel and me)

Looks like it is the forum's move.

Best,

No problems Graham, working for a living rightly comes first, whether we like it or not!

Two options, we go for it right now with f6 g6/ h5 or we prepare it with Nf4 (f6 cannot be played anymore because of Ne6 and g6+

I say we play Nf4, followed by f6 and h5. Black is paralyzed, we can prepare it better I think.

I vote for Nf4
