Title: Move 21
Post by Simon on Sep 30^th, 2009, 7:40am

Fritzlein has moved:

20s ec6e Hc7s Hc6x ed6s de5s

There has been some discussion of this in the last thread:

After a more peaceful 20s like

20g Mc3e Md3e Cd2n Cd3n
20s ec6e Hc7s Hc6x ed6s de5s
21g de4n Me3n Me4s hf4w hf3x
21s de5n ed5e ee5e ef5s

we have at worst

22g Cd4s Cd3s Me3w Cc4s

with an enjoyable position.

Capturing the horse seems like the obvious move, so I'm hoping we'll build lots of reserves with a quick vote.

The capture leaving the M on e3 rather than f4. Any other move seems suicidal even if Fritz has a trick prepared.

So it's 21g de4n Me3n Me4s hf4w hf3x.

I'll move with 6 voice votes. So far I have 2, mine and Adanac's. Simon's response did not seem like a vote to me. As always, any mobster can call off the vote if you have an objection.

I'll come out of hibernation just to add my +1.

Is pushing with the camel instead of pulling really suicidal?

It might be, but I'd prefer not to be too hasty about assuming so. Fritz can then force the camel loss while keeping his own camel safe, but (so it seems) only by letting us kill his other horse and a dog. If on the other hand he moves e->e3 it looks not inconceivable at first glance that the camel could escape around the trap.

edit:

hmm, never mind, he doesn't have to be in a hurry to capture the camel as long as he prevents it from escaping, and so it looks like he can get at least camel for horse.

edit2: actually, considering more possible moves by us, maybe he can't.

edit3: Whatever, the proposed move does look good, and the other one doesn't, except that it might possibly not be disastrous

OK. Let's do it.
