Are you participating in the candidates tournament? Smiley

If he is I wish I knew his identity now so I could root for him!

This may be my last post for several weeks. The key to this endgame is piece activity. Good luck to both teams.

My schedule does not allow time for any distractions right now, but you can expect my return by early next month. Depending on several factors I may decide to reveal my identity when I return. Whether that happens or not I do have some ideas to help Monero and plan to contribute more in the future.

Rxd5 : 4 votes (tifozi, Morecoin, languagehasmeaning, boolberry)

I am not happy about our rook on h1 passively defending h5, but it is not clear to me what we should do about it.

How about f3?, so we can move our Rook out of h1. I really think that should be our very next move.

We cannot defend d5 (31.Nc3 Rc8) so we may as well capture d6 now.

Totally agree.
