6 hours + 20 minutes remaning before voting ends .
Note : There is no link to the game . If you want us to make one , you might as well start one with a guy you trust and link it with it , what do you expect me to do , pick out my own game and link to it , FEN notation is enough . And how the hell are we gonna find a game exactly like this and is gonna have the same moves played by CHESs throughout the game.

I vote for 9. Be3. Both moves are ok, this one develops a piece.

So it is:
9.Be3 (3)
9.a3 (2)

--SEVES

3 for 9.Be3
2 for 9.a3
4 hours + 25 minutes remaining before the move, 9.Be3 is submitted to CHESS.

What has been done in the past with these games is to start an unrated game between two of the players in the group with the game name "RHP vs Fritz 9" and for SicilianNajdorf to play the moves fritz gives him and someone else to play the moves the group votes on. It has the dual benefit that there's an analysis board with the correct position available, so Ark and I will stop suggesting duffers, and SicilianNajdorf doesn't have to keep typing the PGN's in.

I have too many games so one of you should be volunteering to do it .

If we want to castle now then Be2 or d3 is neccessary. It looks like white is castling kingside, so we can't leave our king where it is.

I don´t like both moves. I agree however that we need to move our king bishop out of the way so we can castle. What do the databases say about this position?

Bc4 seems good now that we can move our rook to c1.

10. Bc4 b5 11. Bb3 b4 12. Ne2 and 13. Rc1 with some pressure on his bishop there.

If he wants to castle he is going to have to move the bishop so I think a3 looks pretty sound and that we'd be bes to move our bishop out to c4 or e2 next move.

Vote: a3
