Our knight on e1 is a real hindrance. What do you plan to do with it with Nc2?
- plan e4 intending Ne3
- plan d4
- just leave it on c2
Pretty much.

I was also thinking that Nd2, intending to play Ne1-f3 may work even better. After all, c2 is not that good of a square, we will have to play e3-e4 after that.

So far we have I think

Nc2 - Andranik, Gerold, Christopher
Ne5 - Tano, Matthias
a4 - Steve (feeling lonely ?)

I think we have another hour for the vote, looking at the times that my messages are shown as posted

Nc2 taken as the forum vote.

This is not a ponder hit, so BigLion will think on it
