What's our plan to stop White playing a4 followed by b4 and b5?
That is one problem the other is we could not move any piece!!!. If Ne4 Bg7 wins the exchange we have pathetic bishops at b8 and g8 with a4 white threatens Bb5 winning the queen. Nd8 is possible but it helps nothing in the position, the opening was badly played time to resign
A Wise man once said you can never win a game by resigning Tano
sadly his lifetime win/loss record was 0-324
:P
j/k...
why not suggest a move anyway?
remember you are now facing an unknown dedicated computer rated only a liitle more then 2300
anything can happen and probably will

Give it the old college try regards

Is Nf6-e4 dropping anything? If not we can think about it because exchanges favour us!

White has a small advantage at this point. The Knight is
helping to protect the King and helping in containing the
middle game at its present position.If White wants to
trade Knights that is a diff. matter.

Best to you.

Gerold.

P.S. Thanks for the comments. Please vote for what
you think is right.
This is a fun game and hope more will play.

Just saw that white has Bg7 so Ne4 probably drops the exchange.
IMO white has a large advantage at this point.

Can't see anything better than Gerold's Nd8, so I'll go with that also. It would be too embarrassing to resign in less than 20 moves. :wink:
