also, if you could figure out a couple moves in advance rather than just the one black move... that way we have an idea where the line might go.

Post often!

Well, I hope that white team plays fair and does not look here;-)
After e2, white has the only move: Nxe2, everything else will lose. The problem is that after Nxe2, black chances are very limited if any - we just have not enough force:-)

Qe4 will at least return some material - rook on h1 is hunging, Ne2 will be met with Ng2; and e2 is a more serious treat now. So white should either take the knight (gxf4, Qxh1; white Qh3-h6 is not immediate treat after this) or take the pawn under pin which can be met with either Ng2 or Qxh1. I would say that after Qe4 black has more chances. Just a thought:-)

Won't matter if they do look, we always lie about what we decide in this thread and send personal messages. We'll see when some of the other guys come in and start thinking lines... I will PM them if they don't start posting tonight.

We need to watch out for Qh1 & Nd6 (if we move the Q to e4)

Its looking pretty bad but still Qe4 should give us more options (I also looked at e2, Qd5 & Qg4)

Perhaps it is time to resign the game ?

I would definitely make some more moves - white still should play carefully to not spoil the game. "No game was ever won by resigning" Tartakover:-)

Give Iamtiger (or anyone else) one more day, then if nothing is posted I say go for it. 😉

20. gxf4 - the best move. I don't see anything better than 20...Qxh1.

I think we are clutching at straws now so to speak.

1)...Qxh1 2) Bxe3 Qxh2 3) Qh3+
2)........ Bg7 3) Qf3..Qxh2 3) Qh3+
2)........ Qe4,d5,c6 3) Nd2 ??? 4) 0-0-0
2)....... Re1 3)0-0-0

I'm ready to throw in the towel (and up for the rematch!) Feel free to play on though if you wish.
cheers

Yes - I also see nothing good here. Resigning may be the best option.
