amazingly the move order is a transposition i think

we can actually delay the Q capture until after Qh7+ Kf8
then Rxb8 Nxb8 and then e5

you have seen even deeper then me i see and i have been playing with this almost all night long
:P

Steve
All the credit is for you, as you found a direct winning plan I just fill some 'holes'. Congratulations for finding f4!!

I'm still not 100% convinced. It looks great and I hope it wins, but I guess I tend to be a cautious type of fellow. :wink:

So far

f4 - Steve, Tano, Matthias
Nc7 - Christopher, Graham
Ng4 - Gerold

We will definitely need the full 24 hrs for this move

I change my move to. f4.

Any of the above could win. I think f4 will win with less moves.

I'll change my vote to 38.f4 too. May as well have a little excitement. Nc7 is the boring route and very longwinded.
