Do try to keep up.

Follow your own advice, please.

b3 is fine for a move - it prevents c4 from being played. I'm not quite sure why you would want to play b5 as it just loses the pawn and forces you to give up your knight

Follow your own advice, please.b3 is fine for a move - it prevents c4 from being played. I'm not quite sure why you would want to playas it just loses the pawn and forces you to give up your knight

I will also vote for b3. I disagree that it will "stop" c4 because black can still play it but I still think it is a good option.



I can confirm that Nxb5 will lose the knight for one pawn (along with the game).



So far I see 1 vote for Nxb5, 1 vote for Ng5, 1 vote for Nd2 and one vote for e5 and everyone else prefers 16.b3 or 16.h3.



I have seen all of the above moves discussed with the exception of Nd2. If the point of Nd2 is to help defend against c4 I will ask why you prefer to it b3? In some situations the knight may like to move to e5 instead (a few moves down the road). I can see how it provides extra defense for our e4 pawn (which may become important if our d3 pawn is traded soon) but Nd2 looks very passive to me.



It may be easier to find a consensus if everyone focused on the top two options (b3 and h3) voted on so far and chose between them. I will also vote for b3.

No, no, no. You're not "thinking ahead". 16. Nxb5 axb5 is a cunning sacrifice to allow 17. a6 Bxa6 18. Rxa6 Qxa6. Losing the rook and knight for a bishop is a good idea because it "leaves the queen exposed on her own". Timelord2067 is either a troll or doesn't know actually how to play chess. No, no, no.

The good news is that we don't need to worry about this unless enough lots of new people show up to add voting support for these types of moves.



For now I will assume everyone is trying their best with some of us being more experienced than others. One of the benefits of this thread is to help new people learn how to play chess or improve their skills. OP may want to convince more chess players to support bitcoin but (almost) everyone here already supports bitcoin. Many people on bitcointalk either don't know how to play chess or are very inexperienced.

* Maimdiarove's name is butchered horribly all the time and the correct spelling is unknown

I did the queries, here are the candidates:* Maimdiarove's name is butchered horribly all the time and the correct spelling is unknown

I feel like Nakamura would be the bitcoin contender on this list. I don't know if that's our secret grandmaster, but I can hope

Instead of Nakamura why not his opponent live right now?

http://en.chessbase.com/post/interview-with-pavel-eljanov

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavel_Eljanov



Nakamura vs Eljanov started 30 min ago

https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tournaments/baku-world-cup-2015#live



Some evidence:

(look at first 6 moves and compare to our game)



Exact same opening today in Nakamura vs Eljanov except he played Bd7 instead of Nbd7 on move 5?



If he afraid Nakamura is reading this thread and getting all his ideas (and switched his 5th move to throw him off)?



Will many GMs start following this thread now?

You may.



Quote from: Timelord2067 on September 24, 2015, 10:17:57 AM Actually, your argument is based on bullying, not logic of the game.

No, my insults are based on bullying. My arguments are based on the logic of the game, specifically the logic that a knight is worth more than a pawn (especially at this stage of the game), and a rook and knight combined are worth far more than a bishop. Do you really not see that?



Irregardless, nobody else thinks your plan is sensible, and the majority vote is all that matters. We have five votes for h3 (Taras, scruffy scruffington, ErisDiscordia, boolberry, and myself), four votes for b3 (languagehasmeaning, dre1982, actmyname, and XMRpromotions), one vote for Nd2 (gotmilk_), one vote for e5 (abacus), one vote for Ng5 (jjacob), and one vote for Nxb5 (Timelord2067).

that even a child can exploit.

well i think the "GM" have the advantage in here.

since he can read all of our discusion in this game.

and even 1 person saw the best move but the others,

cant see the objective of it. it will be useless

since this is a majority votes where common moves

are following with common thinkers.

like if ones says i want to move e4. well others will just follow it.

even its not the best move.

i cannot see now the real purpose of this game for the "GM".

well ima out here. Goodluck guys.



Black may have an advantage but the game is far from over!
