Rfd1... since we can't push the f pawn... so the f rook is purposeless there...

[Spock]

Overwhelming majority for Nd5

Nd5 - Graham, Swami, Matthias, Steve, Gerold, Christopher
Rf1-d1 - Andranik

In cases like this, I think it is OK to close the voting early, because the chances of something else winning are incredibly remote, and it keeps the game moving along

So, Nd5 is taken as the vote, I've made that move and we wait for BL to respond. It wasn't a ponder hit.

I'm thinking 28.Rfd1, after which (assuming that BL doesn't want to capture on d5) we could look at f3 followed by either Nf1-e3 or Nb1-c3.

Best.

As BL has moved its f8 R away from the open f file ..
i would seize the a file with 28.Ra1.. and then possibly double up the rooks if allowed
Gerolds Rc3 would allow that possibility as well but it commits us to have rooks on a1-a3 if we do decide to double up. whereas Ra1 leaves us the possibility to lift it to a different rank later

Morning Lift-ups Regards

Yes i had in mind to double the Rooks on the A file.
Hoping for attack on Q side as BL is weak there.
White is solid on King side for now.

Best.
