Wow, eleven voters still, despite the reduced discussion. That's a good sign. For the record: . . . . . . . . . . . 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.10.11. 1. ed3n Md2n ed4w Md3n (camel pull, e->c4) . . . - 7 5 8 8 7 7 9 8 8 8 2. ed3n ed4n ed5w me7w (horse pressure, e->c5, m->d7). 3 - 6 4 6 6 6 9 7 9 7 3. ed3n Md2n ed4n Md3n (camel pull, e->d5) . . . 5 5 - 6 5 6 6 8 8 6 7 4. ed3n ed4w ec4w me7w (horse pressure, e->b4, m->d7). 2 2 4 - 5 4 5 8 6 7 6 5. ed3n ed4w ec4w . (horse pressure, e->b4) . . 2 4 5 4 - 5 4 8 6 7 7 6. ed3n ed4w ec4w dd8s (horse pressure, e->b4, d->d7). 3 2 3 3 4 - 5 7 5 6 5 7. ed3n ed4w ec4w rb7w (horse pressure, e->b4, r->a7). 3 3 5 4 4 4 - 7 5 6 6 8. hg6s hg5s ed3e dd8s (f3 attack, h->g4, e->e3, d->d7) 1 0 2 0 1 0 2 - 4 5 5 9. ed3e Md2n Md3n ee3w (camel flip) . . . . 2 2 2 2 3 3 4 3 - 5 4 10. me7w cc7s md7w ed3n (smother c6, c->c6, m->c7, e->d4) 2 1 4 2 1 3 3 4 4 - 5 11. dd8s me7s ce8s me6e (develop camel, d->d7, c->e7, m->f6)2 1 2 1 2 1 3 2 4 3 - I'm really slipping. The winner was the move I voted in fourth place. The move I voted in third place came in seventh, and the move I voted in second place came in tenth! I'm going to have to be more loquacious and more persuasive if I want my favorites to win. Or maybe my tendencies are simply drifting further from the tendencies of the rest of the team. Anyway, our position still looks quite solid to me, with interesting options coming up. I eagerly await chessandgo's next move.

| So which ones could we have easily left out of the vote? For the record, I was also disappointed with how this suggestion of mine performed! ... but I was happy with the overall result, because our move ended up being my top choice. I moved it up from 8th place a few minutes before submission! That's how equal I thought our choices were.

| OK, you've got me there. What we really need is more discussion, not fewer alternatives, and I'll try to do better on that score for move 5.
