Chessandgo's move is exactly predicted. He has chosen 23w Mg5w Hg3n Hg4n Hg5n.

Fritzlein's continuation 23b ha5s ha4e df7s rf8s looks very playable.  Notice the false protection threat against the C on c2.  This will probably force play along the lines in Fritzlein's tree.  I would expect the bottom branches to be played.  It gets very sharp, so look closely.  I still haven't decided if it's good, but I don't think it's bad.

I don't think this sets up enough of a threat (he has a 1 step defence of the cat).
 
At the same time, it doesn't prepare us to escape being tied down defending the c3 trap.
 
If we aren't active enough, he will soon take over our f6 trap.

How about:
24w Mf5n he6s Mf6w Rf1n
 
There are alot of tactics, but I think gold at least gets his rabbit back.

Now we have a threat on the cat, we are using his dog to protect our camel against his elephant, and we have are almost in position to pounce on his MH attack with our elephant.  Getting a rabbit from us will be the least of his concerns!

. . . . 25w hc4s Ec5s rb3n Ha3e framing our horse to our camel with the E nearby.  This appears to lead to a MH for mhr exchange that I don't like.
 
Or else gold takes our cat in a sharp continuation that looks only even at best.
 
Instead, how about 24b De4e ee3n mc3e Cc2n Cc3x?  This sets up a very sharp exchange race on c3 and f6 where we may be able to maintain our advantage.  Not sure.
[Edit] Looking more at this 24b, gold can just take the dog on f7, put a rabbit on c2, and remain up by a dog.  So I can't find a good 24b for us.

24b ed3e Dd2n Cc2e mc3s
 
The horse frame is not so deadly now, but alot of pieces could leave the board quickly. With the camel behind the trap, a capturing race should (?) favour us due to the advanced rabbit.

Some rather raw ideas:
 
 
1.Hypothetical sharp line ( assuming that Gold goes with 24w Mf5n he6s Mf6w Rf1n after 23b ha5s ha4e Dc4e hb4e ):
 
24b ed3e ee3n mc3e he5e
25w Me6w Ec5n Ec6s cc7s cc6x
25b md3w hc4w mc3e Cc2n Cc3x
26w dd7w Md6n dc7s dc6x Md7w
26b md3e Dd2n Dd3w Dc3x me3w
 
Now C&G must switch to goal defense ( though the whole thing is rather complicated, with dozens dangerous deviations).
 
2. What if:
 
23b ha5s ha4e Dc4e hb4e
24w Mf5n he6w Mf6w Rf1n
 
In this case our horse cannot reach f5 - only our elephant can do it. he6w (instead of he6s) will hurt Silver much more imho Undecided.
 
3. Now a different kettle of fish: 24w Rh1 Rh2n Rh3n Rh4n ( or some similar move involning flank rabbit offensive ) - do you consider this answer viable for Gold and worth preparing for?
 
4. My proposals ( not examined very deeply yet, but maybe we can grow sth out of it )
 
23b ed3e ee3n ee4e mc3e
23b ed3n ed4e Dc4e mc3e

Chessandgo doesn't need to enter a wild, sharp line.  He can use two steps to push our horse back to b4 with his elephant.  In fact, those are the same two steps he needed to defend c3 in my line, so we are just two steps short.  Maybe my last two steps aren't the best, but it seems a waste to use them pushing the dog.
