my thoughts on this position is rfd1 isa solid move .. or b4 is as well .. black most likely will respond with ne5 on rfd1 and look for an f3 timing push to disrupt the kingside pawns so watch out for that if b4 is played you must be prepared for rb8 and any pressure on the b file a likely line is rd1 ne5 qd4 kg8 b4 rb8 and after rb8 i am considering b5 ?! but will give the position more consideration .. if i am allowed to participate in this do not know if i am too strong for that to be fair.. what is the strength of the opposition ???

chessmaster, i suggest you use spoiler tags so lightman doesnt read your analysis and look through it for better lines for black. The rules say he cant look in spoilers (as per honor system). Just put your vote of the move outside of the spoiler (although there is a team that makes the votes, so giving input they may consider is something to add).

Hmm yes after qc7 I think I like jfazz's analysis. Dont have a board or too much time to think about it now but I'll vote for Rad1. Need to know what black is going to do first before jumping to forcing moves. We need a further sense of what his plan is so we can counter.


I vote for Rad1.

To add, b4 would be incorrect since black's queen is now poised for queenside action. Especially if he plays Rb8 and c5 anytime in the near future.

for being a fide master you don't appear to be pretty smart at reading in the rules that your analysis should be tageed in spoilers, also not polite on respecting anyone's opinion on kramnik being the best player ever

it comes down to if b4 is premature or not .. if it isn't it is a good positional move ..... a5 cannot delay b4 at the moment as there is a tactic protecting it ..rfd1 a5 a3 rb8 b4 !!! axb axb and if rxb4 then nb5 is a discovered attack on the rook while the knight hits the queen winning the exchange .. this too me is the most critical line to observe whether b4 gets delayed now this is minimal analysis i must add but it appears b4 cannot be delayed with a5 unless i am missing a quiet move from black ... rad1 is a solid move it appears ... .. but b4 can also be directly played on this move as i just showed the b4 pawn is immune to capture so rb8 isnt a threat in itself for instance b4 rb8 and now we can play a free move as rxb4 isnt possible to the above mentioned tactic another line could be b4 rb8 rab1ne5 now comes a critical choice if rfd1 then we must be prepared to meet f3 !!! one interesting line .. .... b4 rb8 rab1 ne5 rfd1 f3 gxf nxf bxn rxb qd4+ e5 qc5!!
rxc3 qe7+ wins no matter what b does kh6 kg8 or kh8 we play rd6 and win outright to various tactics .. if your goona make the claim b4 cant be played please show analysis why

Lol chessmaster fail spolers! Edit all your posts to add in spoilers. Select all the text and then click the little [S] Icon that should work.

Dude are you seriously a FIDE Master? BTW It's not your skill that wont let you play it's the fact that the team sigups are already closed Maybe we can play against you next time. I would love to see lighamn and jfazz playing on the same team against you.

Keep giving us you analysis thou it's great to have more opinions.

yeah im a fm no biggy though /i am convinced b4 is playable another line could go .. b4 ne5 qd4 d6 ?(f3 is critical line though) c5 (dxc qxc gives white a small edge ) be6 rfd1 rad8 b5 !!!! is an awesome resource !!! giving white a small edge i will have to provide analysis on f3 instead of d6 here before i can be certain

B3 feels to passive for me. I wanted to play b4 here but I couldn't ignor the threat of f3.

can't help but feel that the f rook should be on d1 since the a rook might want to go to c1 as well. I'm not liking the winning chances in this position but draws are likely.

I guess I don't see how Qd4 is not a waste of time: 15. Qd4...c5. 16. Qd5?... Bb7. 17. Qd2 is the only option, back where we started from but with black controlling the diagonal + c5. Am I missing something obvious here?

I think we would do better preparing for some sort of f3 push, either immediately or right after black opens up the d7 field so he can activate his bishop. Perhaps we can play 15. f3? Is that too paranoid? Is it not worth the risk of opening up the black diagonal to the king?

15.g3 fxg3 16.fxg3 Rxf1 17.Kxf1 ... This can work out for us. It´s risky but hey... What isn´t?
