CCC Forum vs BigLion chess960

[Steve B]

its either Nf1 OR Nf3 for me
with the BQ on d8 the F3 night goes nowhere

Nf1-Ne3 threatens Nf5 which would have devasting effect
chances are BL will try to prevent Nf5 with g6 further weaking the pawn cover and allowing our Q an invasion point into the black camp via A2-D2-H6

ill go with 36.Nf1 for now but i would be open to Nf3 if others can show a better plan from f3

Steve

Nf1 also.

I think the main thing we need to watch out for is the black queen coming to g5, intending an exchange sac on d5, followed by a possible perpetual on c1 and f4.

[Steve B]

i guess the forums move is Nf1?

Yes, that seems to be the case. The forum's move is taken as Nf1

That is not a ponder hit, so we wait now for BL to think.

BigLion responds with Kf8

The forum's move again

[Graham Banks]

37.Nfe3

[Matthias Gemuh]

37.Nfe3

... BigLion's Kf8 is clearly a sign of dispair.

Matthias.

[gerold]

Qa3.

Best.
