Why you like Rf7 and not Rb8?

[tano-urayoan]

Hmmmm
only two votes after 8 hours
and only 4 votes last move
i wonder if there is no longer any interest in playing out the game?
another possibility could be that some players tried to log on earlier today but with the TC server down they were unable to do so?

i know Ray is waiting in the wings until this game ends to start his 960 game..11 players seemed interested in playing 960(according to the poll)
if there is little interest left i would offer a draw and step aside for Ray to start his game

Thoughts Anyone?

Maybe moving the game to this subforum decreased the interest of the people who just browse the main forum? Just a guess

Or people are busier at the weekends

Or......it should be organised from the outset in the right way. Maybe they need to see how we work in public? They will never see our private deliberations.....this I know for a fact. We still await the "gallant" Hiarcs team and their nobodies.

Let's see. Maybe they come off their high horse.

Until then, Ra7 gives us an opportunity to not repeat moves and therefore not sue for a draw. In fact we can try both moves to see if the computer wants something different.

I am very happy with the team we assembled. We are undefeated as well which is much more than we can say for some others......

Yes, I'll vote Rf7 as well, although I don't see a lot of difference in the moves.

Steve, is the guideline 24hrs per move for us ?

Yes Ray
24 hours as a rough guideline or until one vote is the clear vote getter if there is no leader after 24 hours
seems fairly obvious that the move will be 22..Rf7 but there are still a good 12 hours left for this move and for players to change their minds or vote for another move so lets keep the voting open for now

vote = Rf7

Rb8 leaves the K side unprotected. Qe7 could be annoying in certain cases.
