Ufim 8.02+Mephisto London 030 vs. CCC Forum Chess960

[Graham Banks]

I was thinking Nb7 because Bd6 fills our third rank and our rook in f6 looks confined. Nb7 If Rb5 even Bc8 and now our rook has some space to move. What you think? Our d5 pawn is a little weak and white has queenside majority so i was thinking relocating the f6 rook in c6 and playing e6

I'll try to take another look this evening Tano, otherwise tomorrow. I agree that our rook on f6 needs to be made more useful.

Cheers,
Graham.

Bd6 for me

[tano-urayoan]

Come on people Bd6 traps our f6 rook and we have weak pawn in d5

How does it trap it? It is already trapped is it not ? The a7 pawn is vulnerable too

Without Bd6, we will be quickly choked on queenside.
We urgently need breathing space (not only for f6 rook).

with about 7 hours to go to TC we have..

Bd6(Gerold,Matthias,Ray)
Nb7(Tano)

there seems to be a bit of a discussion taking place over this move so i hesitate to cut the time short

will let the full time run on this one

I'll look when I get home in about 3 hours and post my choice. Hopefully I'll beat the deadline. However I did study the position initially and felt that Bd6 was best, so if I don't post otherwise, please take that as my choice.

Graham.
