Unfortunately, I can't liven up the discussion and provide new ideas - this week turned out to be hellishly busy to me. Fritz's move looks like a decent proposal, however there's a question: what do you think about UT's 20b: dd7s hg6e hh6w Rh5n?

| This looks like it would lead to giving up a camel hostage. 21w: Eb5s ha5w Dd2w Me3w. I expect the a3 horse and a4 dog to go to the c6 area where the horse will dominate. A swarm attack on f6 will follow. So I don't favor this over 20b: mb3n rc3e mb4w mc4s.

| I like this move too. It's the best of the options I tried.

TheMob selects mb3n rc3w mb4e mc4s by a convincing majority. We were very indecisive about the second place move, but do we really care?

| Yeah, being the event reporter for the World Championship is definitely going to keep me busy. Since it was a landslide, I was tempted not to record the voting here, but then I was too stuck in my ways to change my habits: . . . . . . . . . 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 1. mb3n rc3w mb4e mc4s (r->b3, m->c3) . . - 8 8 7 9 9 9 9 2. hg6e hh6w Rh5n dd7s (pull R, d->d6) . . 1 - 2 3 4 4 6 6 3. mb3n rc3w mb4e dd7s (r->b3, m->c4, d->d6). 1 3 - 2 4 4 5 6 4. dd7s dd6s dd5s rg8s (d->d4, r->g7) . . 1 2 3 - 3 4 5 5 5. mb3n rc3w mb4e mc4n (r->b3, m->c5) . . 0 1 1 2 - 3 4 4 6. mb3n rc3w mb4e mc4e (r->b3, m->d4) . . 0 1 1 1 2 - 3 3 7.
