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.

Play it, seems like the only option.

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.
