It seems chessandgo can offer more resistance with
43g Ee3n rf4n Ee4e Da6e
after which
43s dg3s Ch3w rh4s rc8w
can be met by
44g Ef4s rf5s Ef3s rf4s rf3x
with a few defensive resources remaining for Gold.

If chessandgo chooses a more bland defense to camelback's attack, let's say
41s rf7s rf6s rd5e ce6w
42g Rg1w Rf1n Da6e Rh1n
do we still expect to force goal, or do we fall back on accepting H for d trade, or do we have a way to win the H outright?

Fritz,
Here are my responses, at most we will trade a r for H. I think Ron can still find forced goal with his magic wand.
41b rf7s rf6s rd5e ce6w
42w Rg1w Rf1n Da6e Rh1n
42b Hg4n ef4e rf5s re5s
43w Ee3e rf4n Ef3n Rd4n
43b dg3s Ch3w rh4s rc8w
44w Ef4s rf5s Ef3w rf4s rf3x
44b Hg5w eg4n eg5s eg4w
-----
41b rf7s rf6s ce6w rd5e
42w Ee3n Ee4s re5s Rg1w
42b rf5w Hg4n ef4e re4e
43w Ee3n rf4n Ee4e Da6e
43b dg3s Ch3w rh4s rc8w
44w Ef4s rf5s Ef3s rf4s rf3x
44b Hg5w eg4n eg5s eg4w

Here's the best I could find. Essentially, we take the horse without giving up the dog. The won endgame takes a while, like a jdb puzzle.
41s rf7s rf6s rd5e ce6w
42g Rg1w Rf1n Da6e Rh1n
42s Hg4n ef4e rf5s re5s

That's a nice tactic to hold his horse on f5 with our elephant on f4. However, the advanced rabbit can actually get in the way of that in some lines. For example:
41s rf7s rf6s rd5e ce6w
42g Rg1w Rf1n Da6e Rh1n
42s Hg4n ef4e rf5s re5s
43g re4n Ee3n rf4n Ee4e
43s dg3s Ch3w rh4s re5s
44g Ef4s Rf2w Re2n Ef3s
But then this line convinced me
41s rf7s rf6s rd5e ce6w
42g Rg1w Rf1n Da6e Rh1n
42s Hg4n ef4e rf5s re5s
43g re4n Ee3n rf4n Ee4e
43s dg3s Ch3w rh4s rc8w
44g rf5n rf6x Ef4n Ef5s re5e
44s dg2s Rh2w eg4e rh3s
with goal to follow
Is the Silver e-rabbit more useful on e5, to unfreeze f5, or on e4 to threaten goal?
41s rf7s rf6s rd5e ce6w
42g Rg1w Rf1n Da6e Rh1n
42s Hg4n ef4e rf5s re5s
43g Ee3e rf4n Ee4n Ra3n
43s Hg5n eg4n rf5w re4s
and we do get the horse for only a rabbit.
Since Ron has covered the possible Gold counter-attack, and the Gold defense looks mostly hopeless, I guess I'm finally on board for camelback's move in the continuing voice vote. I'm ready to move if everyone else is too.
As if I needed another reminder that my endgame instincts are poor, I originally thought advancing the f7-rabbit to f5 would not be threatening enough, and would allow chessandgo time to consolidate, when in fact it ties him down and makes our advantage clearer. I hope this kind of analysis eventually helps me repair the big hole in my game.

Camelback's move is sagacious. Just casually playing out follow-up moves, everything just seems to naturally and swiftly flow in our favor. I'm behind this move if for no other reason than that I want to see Chessandgo's response.

I concur. I'd like to see Camelback's move played.

I think anybody who plays as well as chessandgo or Fritzlein is not only a wizard, but uses dark magic and illegal spells. Slytherins both.
I think maybe Adanac is a Ravenclaw.

Looks to me like this would transpose into one of the other variations we've considered, but I'm fully expecting chessandgo to pull some potion out, confuse our rabbits and get the advantage again.

If I recall correctly your namesake once played a high-stakes game of chess in a dungeon that Dumbledore called "the best game of chess Hogwarts has ever seen". Your conclusion that F and C&G are necessarily Slytherins is dubious.
