Re: Curtains vs PoG
btw, if you were wondering how much weight to give my opinions, I'm ranked a little over 1700 on FICS. So not heaps of weight, but a bit [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Curtains vs PoG
i suppose. i just don't see any way to defend that central pawn long term with a bishop and a rook vs a knight, bishop and rook given that we have a more or less pinned knight and no other pawns to support it with.

Re: Curtains vs PoG
How will we defend d5? He still has his knight to bring out that will hit d5. (Nc3 will be made at some point)
We need to get this sucka!!!

Re: Curtains vs PoG
I was going to say ...d5 is the only real move, but I now like xorbie's suggestion of Na6 followed by presumably Bc5. I thought e4 might be a problem then, but we have so many pieces we can put them all supporting the d5 push and eventually solve our problems in the centre. So I'm voting Na6, but I don't really expect it to win out.

Re: Curtains vs PoG
also ...d5 may still be best, I just don't like those isolated queen's pawn positions in practice.

Re: Curtains vs PoG
I don't like na6. I really hate developing my night to the edge of the board, and I dont really see following that up with bc6 redeeming the move. Curtains will develop a piece and then likely move his queen effectively.
I voted d5 because I think that is possibly the best move but definitely the move that will teach me the most. (My chess game is uber rusty and was never stellar to begin with.)
