After RW's
 
44b dg3s dg2e Rf2e rf5s
45w Rc2e Rd2e Re2e Ra5n
45b Hg5w eg4n Hf5n Hf6x eg5w
 
Bomb found goal in 20 for C&G:
 
46w Db6n Db7w Da7e ra8s
46b ce5w cd5w cc5n cc6w
47w Rd4n Rd5n Rd6n Rb1n
 
It's not hard to defend against that, but I don't have a particular way in mind yet.

At 12 ply, Gnobot suggests
rf5s ce5w Hg5w eg4n
 
[edit: this is the result at every depth between 10 and 16]

44s rf5s dg3w df3e Rf2n? Gold E gets pinned and can't kill our d3 rabbit without giving up his one of his own. And then maybe we can activate our h4 rabbit...

This position is very sharp. Gold is 5 steps from making an unstoppable goal threat on the a file. If gold manages to firm up the defence just a little bit, there will be enough time to execute the threat.

It seems we get a goal on 46s (our elephant abandons the horse and moves south) unless his 45g includes moving his b1 rabbit east three times. With the south-west depleted of defending rabbits the threat of our b5 rabbit seems to keep his north-west threat in check. Then we can capture his horse for a rabbit. I tentatively support

What defense does Bomb propose for c&g after this 44s? Is this position a goal in 5 for us?

45g rd3w rc3x Ee3w Ed3e Rh1n - if Gold plays that, Bomb announces our victory in 12 steps.  
 
45g Ee3e Rf2w Ef3s Rc2e - see above, but in 20 steps.

Just to have the choices open, how about this move.
 
44s rf5s ce5w cd5w cc5s
 
gold has to spend 4 steps for defense, then we can have RonWeasley's move.

I'm not sure about 45g Ee3e rh3n Cg3e Ef3w - it may be a bit tougher to nut to crack; gonna check it soon. Though I would not be uncorking the champagne now, JDB's proposal looks surprisingly strong to me.

See my tree. I think that move is a goal in two for us.

After
44b rf5s dg3s Ch3w rh4s
45w Ee3e Rf2w Ef3s Rc2e
 
Bomb declares we win in 20. It continues:
 
45b Cg3w eg4s rh3s rd3e
46w Ef2s Cf3x Hg5e Hh5s Hh4s
46b Hh3n eg3e rf4s dg2n
 
Update: it currently seems that jdb's move makes us win in 4 moves, i.e. during move 47s.
