Thanx! I like that reply. I gives either a hostage or frame. This means gold has to back out the camel, probably with 9w Ed5n Mc5e Md5s Md4s. Silver can then pull the dog. I looked at flipping the dog, but the silver camel needs the e close by.

One of the options, md7s ce7e ed3e hg6s is invalid because there is a piece on f7. Do you mean md7s ce7w ed3e hg6s, UruramTururam?

Oops! (*) Ow. Clearly I didn't check that one carefully. It doesn't seem to be a popular move, but if anyone strongly wants to see that move properly represented, please say so here and we can start the election over tomorrow.

In fact I meant: md7s ce7s ed3e hg6s ... not too strong move I guess
Btw. I like the way the analysis goes here. When I'm back from my vacations I'll apply to be among the voters.

I have a similar question.
After 8b ed3n Mc4n ed4w ec4w, how do we respond to 9w Ra2n Mc5w Ed5w Ha4n?
Pushing the camel north still worries me. I don't think we need to target his camel at all costs, he has other pieces exposed at the moment.

We had 8 votes by the morning. 10 votes by the afternoon. Clearly, some of the mob is either not interested or just not voting. What an unruly mob.
Mob rule pushes the M to c5. Let's hope we aren't facilitating a EMH attack.

regarding the potential response that 99of9 was worried about i think that eb4w Mb5s Mb4e ea4e should be adequate.
