It's my opinion that white should play BxKn and then proceed to decimate the pawn structure

You might want to elaborate on "decimate the pawn structure". It seems to be that after Bxc6 bxc6 black can capture on b3 and a3 just as quickly as white can capture on d6 and c6. If your goal is to trade everything off and force a draw that would be a good idea.

Based on the votes in this thread Team Monero has chosen to play a3. Now it is time for Team Boolberry to respond. I will plan to count votes again tomorrow at approximately 0:00 UTC.

I have already spent some time analyzing this position because I saw 26.a3 leading the polls. I vote for e5 (send me a private message if you want to know why because I don't want to share all my ideas with our opponent).

26. a3

Takes b4 away from the knight and in this type of ending the pawns belong on a different colour square from the bishop.

Good idea. I will make the 2nd vote for 26.a3

My preference is Rb8. There are several possibilities where we may want to move our knight so it is important to protect our pawn. For example after Rb8 26.Re1 Re5 27.Rxe5 Nxe5 instead of dxe5 (which would ruin our pawn structure).

a5 with the idea of a4. We can always play Kf8 to defend e7 after Re1

My suggestion is also Rb8. We must gonna use our knight. They shouldn't now just trade the bishop for the knight so Rb8 is just in time.

25. Rd2

After careful study I have come to the conclusion that your recommendation is the best move in this position.

25.Rxd2 is my final decision. Even Gary Kasparov will be unable to change my mind.

Interesting Compact Confidential Transactions conversation happening here now:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/crypto-compact-confidential-transactions-for-bitcoin-1085436

I hope this can be implemented into CryptoNote (Monero or Boolberry) before Bitcoin

This technology is very new and needs a fair amount of peer review and testing before it can be incorporated in Monero, Boolberry or Bitcoin. I followed the thread and there are serious weaknesses that have been found and work is currently progressing to address them. It is a very exciting technology nevertheless.
