Edit: yes sorry, saw it...still looking for a continuation
Edit2: So still Bxc5
Afterwards: 26. Kh1 g4, 27. f4 Qg6
cant find more...hes probably going to try to attack f7 with his rook
lets see if community wants to wall off with the bishop or play more offensively

possibly, h5 to h3. That would probably be the best move to take the most amount of pieced and to force letsplayagame to move the king out of the safer part of the board. Only once the pawn has been taken!

Maybe we can get the Knight at d3, that's a normal way to play with this situation; Knight through d7 and c5 to d3. The pawn to d3 looks like giving away our advantage.
But still looks like we first must play 24. ... - Qg6. Can't play 24. Nd7 now.

Looks like the Bitcointalk side is losing! Shame! We have fewer pieces on the board (fewer of the more powerful pieces anyway: queens, knights, castles and bishops)
So far the material we lost was sacrificed on purpose for the initiative. We remain ahead in development and have good attacking chances.
