| I was going to post that I couldn't find a good answer to this move, but then I found this 36b which looks like our best alternative: 36b rf7s rf6s rf5s rf4s He can adequately defend with: 37w rf3n He3e rf4e Hf3n or 37w Dd4e De4e Df4w rf3n Does anyone want to analyze from here? Another option is 36b E -> d3, push R into trap. 37w Rg1w Rf1n Da3n Da4n Then what is our strategy? Retreat our east dog to safety and retreat our west dog to defend c6 trap? Edited to reflect move 36b instead of 37b. Sorry about that.

Yes, let's go with the horse-pushing move.

We are therefore waiting either for more analysis (I'll withdraw my vote if any important new analysis is posted), a vote from jdb or a vote from a less active poster such as Janzert.

I'll go for it too. Btw, here is OpFor's analyses after making this move, i.e. from 36w. depth 16 time 9424 nodes 733089475 qnodes 194132715 score -94 pv Eb3e Ec3w dc4s dc3x Hf1w b Cg3w Cf3x dg2n rb5e rc5s w rc4s rc3x Dd4w Eb3n Eb4s b ef2w ee2n ee3w rg6s Janzert

| Interesting that Opfor can't see anything productive for Jean to do on ply 11 and 12. Thanks for posting, it's good to see that Opfor didn't find any tricky saves for Jean.

| At a depth of 12 opfor puts c&g up by almost a rabbit and sends the dog at d4 west and north for steps 11 and 12. But after searching to 13 steps deep the score drops back in our favor and by 14 steps OpFor seems to think the d4 dog advance is bad (maybe leaves the south east too weak?). Janzert

I left bomb analyzing for a while and it suggested 36w Rc2n Rc3e Rd3e Dd4s What's a good response for us to that? Update: how about 36b Cg3e dg2n rg6s rg5s Update 2: this doesn't seem much different than the other moves we've seen. Nothing to worry about further unless he plays it I think.

| I spent the weekend with the family. Hope that didn't make TheMob ... angry! I have made the horse push move. Keep in mind that if I go on extended vacation, as I will in August, I can give the password to a substitute moderator. Chessandgo volunteers that he did not expect our last two moves in his analysis. He didn't say if that was good or bad.

| We expected his 34w but not his 32w, 33w or 35w. I wonder if we can tell him that without giving too much away.
