With a 4-1 majority, I think it is OK to close the vote early ?

Yes, true. We can certainly wait the full 24 hrs, happy to do that, but it seems the voting numbers are a bit down now and we might not get any more

OK, I'm going to close the vote at Nfe3, if there are any objections from people who wanted to vote differently, we can always go back

So Nfe3 is the forum vote by a majority 4-1

That is not a ponder hit, so BL is now thinking

i am posting this move suggestion now in case anyone would like to discuss it

IF BL plays g6 here(which i think is virtually forced)of course we can play the fairly obvious Nc7 and we wind up with a Q for our B+R and a won game but it will take some time to actually end the game
i also looked at Qa1 threatening f4 but that is not as good as Nc7 as BL has the annoying Qc8
then i fooled around with f4 immediately and i think it wins quicker and more violently
:P
BL will have to play exf4 and then we have this virtually forced line
Ng4 h5
Raxb8 Qxb8(nxb8 and i believe we have a forced mate)
Qa1! hxg4
Qh8+ Kf7
Qh7+ Kf8
e5 e3(Threating mate if we move the d5 night)
Kf1 Rc6
Nxf4 and i imagine BL might resign

there could be holes in my analysis but this seems like f4 will be my vote unless someone can poke holes in my thinking here

Thoughts anyone?
Steve
