Ok, so what's wrong with 20g Mc3e Md3e Cd2n Cd3n in the end? After 20s de5s re7s re6s ra6s 21g Cd4n de4w Me3n Dh4s (or maybe even Dc1w or any other step) 21s ec6e ed6e re5e ee6s 22g Re2n dd4s Me4w Dh4s Looks good for us [on 21g I think Greg's last step Re2n might fail to 21s ec6e Hc7s Hc6x Re3w hf3w] After a more peaceful 20s like 20g Mc3e Md3e Cd2n Cd3n 20s ec6e Hc7s Hc6x ed6s de5s 21g de4n Me3n Me4s hf4w hf3x 21s de5n ed5e ee5e ef5s we have at worst 22g Cd4s Cd3s Me3w Cc4s with an enjoyable position. If we don't play the Dh4s step on 21g maybe we're still ok anyway, as silver's 21s e to e5 might be that threatening: 20g Mc3e Md3e Cd2n Cd3n 20s re7s de5s re6s ra6s 21g Cd4n de4w Me3n Dc1w 21s ec6e ed6e re5e ee6s 22g Re2n dd4s Me4w Db1n again it's complicated but it looks ok for us. Remains the fighting 20g Mc3e Md3e Cd2n Cd3n 20s re7s de5s re6s ra6s 21g Cd4n de4w Me3n Dh4s 21s Cc4s dc5s dd4s hf3w but I think we should be doing fine in this fight (to be checked). I hope I'm not missing something obvious, and anyway several positions need to be checked, but at the moment Greg's 20g Mc3e Md3e Cd2n Cd3n look good to me.

Are we ready for a vote now? We're about to dip into our reserves and we've had quite a bit of deep analysis into each variation.

After all this, the only move that gives us any hope seems to be 20g Mc3w Md3w Cd2n Cd3n So I propose a voice vote. Mine, Adanac and chessandgo count as 3 so far. Others who have expressed opinions, please do so again. I'll move if we get 6 or an objection.

And that makes 6. Apologies to those who strongly voiced before. My problem is that I can't tell if subsequent posts may change your mind or if you have read those posts. This is an inherent problem with using a forum to communicate. Please forgive.

| That was no accusation! Sorry if you considered it so! And your observation on the way forums work is quite correct.
