CCC Forum v Daydreamer 1.61 + Dedicated (Chess 960)

[Aaron Becker]

After spending a little more time with this position, I feel extremely good about our chances. I was mostly considering f6, but I think you make a good case for bringing up the knight first. So I will agree, Nf4.

[P. Villanueva]

28. Nf4 f6 29. Ngh5 and white seems to have big advantage.
28. Nh5 seems to be very strong too.
But I like Miguel's first idea even more:
28. f6 g6 29. h5 with big pressure on black pawn wall.

[Sven]

28.Nh5

Threats 29.gxh6 followed by mate on g7. So Black probably must reply 28...f6 (28...hxg5 29.hxg5 +-), and then we play 29.Ngf4, planning g6+ followed by Nxg7. Black's position seems to break down.

I also think it is slightly better to play Nh5 before N(g)f4 if we want to enforce the variations above. Nf4 may still be good, though.

About an hour to go for the 24 Hrs to be up. Looks like Graham's choice might have to decide the deadlock!
