Why oh why is the majority trying to swap off our dark squared bishop????
Crazy people......
Christopher
With the black king far away from intercepting the white passed pawn,
swapping the dark squared bishop, heads for a tough endgame.

I prefer Kh8 to set a trap.
But if the choices are Bf8 and Rf6, I chose life, kidding apart I go with the Rf6 group.

With 4 hours to go to TC(as i write)
the vote is dead even
5 for Bf8
5 for Rf6

[d] r5k1/2qp1r1p/2b1p1pB/8/1bP3Q1/1P6/2B1RPPP/3R2K1 b

Another crazy horse?
Funny. I take it you want to lose......
Please explain how swapping pieces wins when we have less material than our opponent?
Why do we need to swap off a piece that our opponent has that is doing nothing?
How does that do "something"?
We get to a position where it is rambling aimlessly and you give it an advantage again. Smart......

Bf8 is now in the lead 6-5 with a mere 2.5 hours to TC
