Black is also in decent shape positionally, I am not sure I would say we have a queen side pawn "majority". Either way I guess we will keep going for a few more moves, I just don't see any viable lines of attack short of a major blunder from one side. | ||

The reality is that now that we know you use computers in your analysis we don't want it. We here on TL have zero-tolerance for cheaters. Just because you used a computer out of laziness doesn't mean it's not cheating. In fact, convenience was the reason most of the TSL2 abusers gave as there excuse for cheating in the TSL2 ladder. It's probably the oldest excuse in the book. You have no reason to complain about banishment because you were never an established member of this community anyways. And hey, a 2500 like you can probably just go troll some chess corespondent websites. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Allows us to put a lot of pressure on Black's position. Don't forget that exd5 is an option for us. We respond to Bxd5 with Nc3, and Black's position looks more precarious. | ||

Either way I guess we will keep going for a few more moves, I just don't see any viable lines of attack short of a major blunder from one side. + Show Spoiler + A queenside pawn majority means that we outnumber black's queenside pawns. We have 3 pawns, the a, b, and c pawns, vs. black's 2, the a and c pawns. Therefore, we have a queenside pawn majority. In the endgame, having pawn majorities like this is very useful, as you can hopefully be able to create a passed pawn that black has to defend against. In this case, the plan is to play a4 and b4-b5 to challenge black's c-pawn and get a passed pawn. All our play should happen in the queenside unless black tries to do something in the center. | ||

Right now black can't take with the pawn because Nc3 wins a pawn for white. Hmm I wasn't thinking that white would immediately take after Rd4 though. I was thinking 23. Nc3, but that would be the mistake. Rd4 is playable if 23. exd5. However I think 22. exd5 Bxd5 23. Nc3 Be6 24. Re1 followed by 25. Bf1/Ba6 is better for white. The idea is that we line up our rooks on the e-file and attack black's minor pieces. They can't be defended with pawns and they don't defend each other, so they have to be defended by rooks or moved. Except the knight can't be moved after 26. Rde2 because other wise the bishop hangs. A passive black = a happy white. If 23. ... Bf7 24. Ne4 Rf5 25. Rd4 Bd5 26. Nc3 is good for white White plans to play g4 to force the rook to move or the pawn to take en passant. Lots of tactical goodies here for white. If 23. ... Bg8, 24. Ba6 to threaten to go after the c6 pawn, followed by 25. Re1 and Rde2 to pile up on the knight. Vote for 22. exd5. | ||
