this is odd
i have received 3 email notifications that new posts were made since Matthias's move and yet i see nothing new?
i wonder if anyone else "watching" this thread has received the same false notifications?

Puzzled Regards
Steve

No.

35.Qa6

Matthias.

Qa6 .

Best.

Gerold.

So far:

Qa6 - Steve, Matthias, Gerold

[Graham Banks]

35.Qa6 also, but I'd like to know the plan after 35...Qc6. We'll need to be careful of Rxd5 followed by Qd6 and e4.

I don't know if I am seeing visions but what about Rc7?

35.Qa6, Qc6; 36.Rc7, Bxc7;

[tano-urayoan]

No I mean 35. Rc7

For your fear against Rxd5 white could take back with the c pawn and not allow the advance of the e pawn but this gives black 2 passers. but blocked.Also for example After 35. Qa6 Qc6 36 Nf1 and h2 is defended, but is difficult for white to make progress.

True. Recapturing with the c-pawn if Rxd5 eventuated does look the better option.

I took a quick look at 35.Rc7, but still prefer Qa6.

Cheers,

Hello Mr Banks I do not know if I am missing something with Rc7 but I see exchanging our 2 rooks for black queen and we still has the better minor pieces (blacks bishop is has nowhere to go)

Hi Tano,

what was the line that you had in mind?

Cheers,
Graham.
