Ra1-a7.

Gerold.

Pressure on the Q side can win a couple of pawns and the
game.

since BL's Reply Bb8 was basically forced i have looked at Qb5 as soon as we played Ra8....thats a long time ..but i have to say to Gerold ..R1a7 seems like a great move
i just automatically pruned it from my potential move list because of the B on b8
the R is immune to capture for now
i think Bl's best reply is Nd7 and then perhaps Qb5 for us
i am betting however it will instead exchange Nights on d5 which will give us a clear winning position

32.R1a7

So far:

Ra1-a7 Gerold, Swami, Steve B, Matthias
Qb5 - Tano


A few hours left for the vote. Ra7 has the majority but not enough to close the voting early. It would need one more vote for that. I'm working on the basis that 5 votes for any one move and that move has a clear majority, is enough to close the vote early. I don't think we've had more than 10 votes on any one move in the game, so it is safe to do that

Sound Policy
In the R30 game i used the same policy but if only 1 vote came in


Agreed Regards
