CCC Forum vs BigLion chess960

[gerold]

An inexplicable blunder .

The game almost over.

16.dxc5

Matthias.

I herewith switch to 16.d5

Matthias.

d5 also.

Best.
Gerold.

[Spock]

So far

d5 - Graham, Steve, Matthias, Gerold
dxc5 - Christopher

[Spock]

d5 it is, which is not a ponder hit, so we wait for BL's response

[Spock]

BigLion responds with f6

[d] q1br1rk1/ppbnp1pp/3n1p2/2pP4/P1P5/2B1PN1P/2N1BPP1/Q1R2RK1 w - -

What will be the forum's next move ?

[Graham Banks]

16....f6 was expected really. A good multi-purpose move.
I'm voting for 17.Nd2, clearing the way for a probable f4.

[Matthias Gemuh]

17.Nd2

Matthias.

[Steve B]

"backward" moves are starting to become contagious i see


considering Bd3 or perhaps even Na3

BL has Nb6 here with a double attack against our c pawn ..i dont care for Qa2 to protect it or Nd2 to protect it

undecided Regards
