After that we could mount another threat:
34b hc3w rb7s rb6s rb5e
(threatening to slip the rabbit through the trap to c2)
But it's still on a knife edge.

Well, it depends...
Silver could play like a bot and delay it further:
35b Hf2n ee2e Cg3e dg2n
(with potential for plenty more chasings...)
Or may give up a piece, for a few threats of our own:
35b rd4w dd5s dd4s rg6s
36w Hf2n dg2w Hf3n df2n df3x
36b De3n ee2n De4n ee3n

ok, but I think we wouldnīt be frightened just take the dog:
35w Hf2n dg2w Hf3n df2n df3x
and after
35b rc5s rc4s ec2e rc3s
we have
36w Rf1w Re1w Rh1w Rg1w
and now I donīt see any further progress for Gold.

Wow, yes indeed - there are planty of subtleties further - I think at this point it is no need to go further (to be still pretty sure that we wonīt be worse) because maybe we have better moves earlier (I donīt claim that my 34w (and next golds moves) are optimal).

So far lots of interesting ideas and possibilities.
33b Da3n hb3w dd7s dd6s
How does silver answer:
a) 34w Ec4w Eb4s Re2w De3s
b) 34w Ec4w rd4w Eb4s rc4w
How about a move that combines some of the ideas given in the other posts:
33b dd7s dd6s rb7s rb6s
There is a goal threat, so the dog is safe (for now). The b3 horse can now run to a6.

I haven't abandoned you guys. I've got a close relative in St. Mungo's and it's taking all my time. The goal threat is keeping us alive here. It's amazing we missed chessandgo's response, but it's not clear now that we won't be able to stall while we get a swarm going or push our rabbit to the seventh rank. Keep going.

Your's 33b is interesting but after:
34w Rc1e Rb1e Rg1w De3w
I donīt see how silver can avoid loss of material.

If he responds with
36w Db4n Eb3n Eb4s dc4w
all our forward pieces except rabbit and elephant are frozen, which seems quite bad.

After looking at our choices and not being really happy with any of them - I have a new move to consider:
33b dd7s dd6s hb3n rb7s
This move prevents an immediate horse hostage and also prevents a rabbit flip to c5.
If he responds with:
34w De3w Rg1w Rc1e Rb1e
Then we can:
34b ec2e Dd3w ed2n ed3e
This protects all of our pieces for another move. What are some possible 35w's that could put us in danger? If he goes after our H, we can probably trade Dogs. If he plays more defensive, we can probably swarm.

Hmm, maybe something like
35w Dc3e hb4s Ec4w Rb2e
?
Does anyone have any long-term plans about how we might unfreeze our horse or dog if we can keep them alive for a while? Freeing the horse seems difficult, but perhaps we can swarm in the west to keep our horse alive while sending our elephant east to go save our dog and threaten his horse?

I think here could work already known theme (from 33b dd7s hb3e rg6s rg5w) - so after:
33b dd7s dd6s hb3n rb7s
gold has:
34w rd4e Ec4e Ed4s Rg1w
and now we arenīt able to prevent loss of material.

now if he kills our horse, we kill his horse (and take control of an entire trap!)
he has other protecting options, but they don't look that great, and we have plenty of time to come back and protect the horse if we need.
Quote:| b) 34w Ec4w rd4w Eb4s rc4w |

I'm not sure what is best, there are quite a few reasonable possibilities. One option is:
rb7s rb6s rb4e dd5s

Agreed, file 33b dd7s dd6s hb3n rb7s under the clearly bad moves.
