a3 idea b4 -c5

[Spock]

About 6 hrs to go, I think we have so far:

Rc1 - Steve, Matthias, Gerold
Rd1 - Graham
a3 - Tano

[Spock]

OK, Rc1 is the forum's vote. No ponder hit this time.

If you want to start thinking about your next move, I'm pretty certain BigLion will play dxc4

i am currently tinkering with some possibilities should BL play 10..c5 after our 10.bxc4(if we do wind up playing that )
11.h3 seems obvious but i dont like the Q+B battery BL would have along the C8-H3 diagonal if it plays Qc8
11.Bc3 looks OK to me so far followed by Qb2
anyone taking a bit of a look ahead in the game yet?

No way to stop the Q from playing c8. That's why we need to
play h3 at some point to push black/s B out.

Bc3 and Qb2 looks ok depending on BL moves.
