But you're not stirring up trouble! There's no reason to hide your doubts, The_Jeh.
The question is: do we like HDR for MR? - since this is where this move leads us I think ( HDR for M looks impossible or at least very remote )?
I thought about killing Gold D by double-drag on 25b. Then the only way for chessandgo to save his frozen H without abandoning our M is 26w Rg1n Rg2n Rg3n Hg5e ( after that it's unclear to me ).
If he kills our M on 26w, we capture his H ( and unfortunately he kills our R ). I got mixed feelings about the resulting position.OTOH, if on 25w our H is not pushed west ( to c5 ) but north, then Gold D is not in danger and we are weakened ( We may react 25b hb5e hc5w Dc4n hd6s, but too dangerous to our horses ). So 25w hd5n Ed4n Me5s Ed5s seems to refute my last proposal - and even if I'm wrong, this move seems to contain too many surprises. IMO we have neither time nor necessity - we already have ef4n ha5e hb5s rg7s - to explore them all. Please tell if you see something in it that I missed ( highly probable ) . I'm waiting for Fritzlein's comments and then I'll be ready to vote.

Ok, I agree - no need to take risk of unexpected. I am again (and definitely  ) for 24b ef4n ha5e hb5s rg7s.

As I said - I probably saw only a fraction of possibilities when analysing my proposal. I assumed people would post if they found it gives us better options than 24b ef4n ha5e hb5s rg7s no matter what ( I can't contribute now due to tightening schedule  ).
When do we vote?

Correction: On two of the move candidates I put the result of ef4n as e->e4 instead of e->f5. I hope this doesn't cause confusion.

TheMob chooses ef4n ha5e hb5s rg7s. At this point, you'd think gold will make one of the moves we've anticipated.
