OK if the next plan is H->g3 the "half cat capture" with saving the trap looks like the best option. Fritz cannot gain by delaying the camel capture and it seems to me he cannot interrupt the plan.
I am new to playing against good humans so my strategical thinking trained mostly on bots does not navigate me well ... so I would probably mostly watch the discussion rather than voting.

One thought on voting. If you don't have a preference, for whatever reason, and especially if you think you're not experienced enough to choose the best move, please vote anyway and put the moves you like, but can't decide on, in a tie for number one. The tie lets others decide among those and you record your preference for those over the other candidates. The tie can be for a place other than first if you have a first place candidate.
The biggest advantage is that I will know that an additional mobster has voted. I won't know who, but it lets me see that a quorum has been reached and I may be able to end the voting early and save time on our clock. I realize there's a risk that a flood of no preference votes may induce an early closure before enough preference votes are made, but usually mobsters with a preference are voting promptly anyway. Lately we are getting about 8 votes total and I'm trying to encourage more participation from those less opinionated.

It was mentioned already, but I would rather expect
26s cb5w Rb4n dc5s ed4s. But either way I support now this variant more than Dg3 capture.

We had 8 mobsters vote and the result was ... a tie. The winners were the trap the cat with D->g3 and Ef4w cg4w Dh4w Re2e. I flipped a coin, as is appropriate for a tie, and the Ef4w cg4w Dh4w Re2e move won.
If we lose, we can blame it on this move.

Do I understand it well that voting si get from this discussion? Or is the voting somewhere else?

No, you send an email to RonWeasley asking to be added to the voting group and when a vote occurs you get an email enabling you to vote. See the "About this Game" thread. Voice votes occur here of course.
