EPTYou are 4 hours short of three days. PM or write here if you mind it and you'd like the extra days. I might still give it later to my own will if I see fit.
Cheers and have a great weekend, peeps.

Its 3:49 here, so I'll attempt a more in-depth analysis tomorrow. | ||

At first glance I'm liking Nf1, so that will be my tentative move until we do some analysis tomorrow, er, today... :/ Reason: Releases our bishop and prepares the knight to move to a more useful square, and stuff. | ||

Black has allowed us to go two pawns up. It is very advantageous for us to trade material. Though Rb1 doesn't force a Rook trade, it does force an awkward move by black. 20. Rb1 Bb5 21. Nf3 and we have essentially obtained a free move (Rb1). 20. Rb1 Bb4 21. a3xb4 20. Rb1 Rxb1 21. Nxb1 opens the bishop and allows us to attack d5 on the next move with 22. Nc3. (example continuation: 20. Rb1 Rxb1 21. Nxb1 Rb8 22. Nc3 Kd6 23. Bf4+) 20. Rb1 Rc8 21. Nf3 c5 22. Be3 | ||

nf1 does feel safe vs a checkmate attempt though | ||

+ Show Spoiler [rationale] + Eliminates the threat of a back-rank mate, begins play on the Kingside, doesn't commit the Knight early. Nf1 is slow: in various lines that we've looked at, it never ends up getting to e3 because of Black's counterplay. | ||

Click on my link two posts up if you want to see the details. It was originally decided Nf1 is a good follow up after b4, I am still doing some calculation on the side. But I think Nf1 is better than Rb1 for now. I will vote soonish. PS: @Ng5, could we have our full three days, please? I have a feeling that we could use them on this move. | ||
