Updated with a link on top of OP to the new analysis tree, thanks to Qrs.

I'm gonna party tomorrow night and I'm not gonna thinking a single minute of chess until it's over, so you guys basically have like two extra days from now.

Cheers!

Edit: First post of the page again. It's my magic it seems.

Since hype enlightened me, I've spent quite a bit of time looking for holes in the + Show Spoiler +
18. b4 a5 19. bxa5 ... 20. Nf1
plan and I haven't been able to find one. I still think that 18. b3 is promising, and Daigomi's 18. Re3 may well be too, but since of the three of these, the 18. b4 lines are most forcing, and since I've not been able to find any holes in them, I'll cast my vote now for 18. b4.

I've posted the basic 18. b4 lines that I've looked at to the analysis tree here.

I'm going to Abstain for our 18th move. I haven't visited this thread for almost a week. There's so much going on that I don't have time to read everything.

Back.

Voting is now officially closed.

I will do the counting and make my move sometimes in the next three days. No promises as to where. I'll try to send reminders.

I think we should discuss our plans for the future. Even though we've chosen a fairly forcing line, with some simplification involved, I don't think we're entirely out of the woods yet. In the lines we've been looking at, Black still has some pressure on us.

I've entered hype[NZ]'s main line into the Analysis Tree. The line begins with Black's 19th move, here, and ends with our 24th move, here. IMHO, we should give careful attention to this last position. Black has a lot of possibilities he can try in this position. Are we safe against all of them?

Edit: in fact, more specifically, what do we do against this?

Edit 2: OK, I'm leaving off analyzing for the day. At this point, I have to say that I'm pretty concerned with what's been our main line. Unless someone can find the answers here, I think that we should be deviating from the line well earlier than the last position I linked--perhaps as early as move 20.

Updated. Let me go over my latest plans for a sec.

A few things.

As for Abstaining. It's showing you're still active, so you don't get off the roster and it also shows that you can't or won't decide. I don't agree with it, but it serves the purpose of showing you're still here.

As for a vote not changing anything. I think the game is about fun, and not about saving the world.

Anyway let me check my chess out.

Be back soon.

Move is made.

Three days as usual.

Vote for move 19 is open from now.

PS: The horse in the window has been waiting for this move.

OK, we expected this and our next move is obvious.

I still think we need to discuss some of the moves a bit further down the road, and better sooner than later. (see my post above).

Btw. the previous vote was very nice and well-varied.

I'm happy I chose Re8 back then.

I've been trying to look for alternative moves just for the sake of debate, but honestly everything else looks terrible. Looks like a 3-day weekend from TL chess.
