Alright, here is how i see it, adepts next move will be to push his bishop to e6, forcing a trade with yours, he can then move his knight to that spot and nail both rooks.
I'd put a nail in his coffin and not trade bishops. you need to force the knight to move first, so ph6 is my recommendation. He will either run or be forced to make a more even handed trade.
hmmm, well I looked at Danger's idea, sorry no, looked at two of my own, but they also lacked a little something, Matridom's suggestion is the top of the heap.

Reason:
Matridom saw right through that flimsy strategy. :D
As the knight is no longer worth the effort of protecting, I'll have to settle for the exchange with the black bishop instead. Since I'm no endagering both rooks, your next move will be to take my knight with your bishop, which I can dispatch with my own afterwards.
The loss is acceptable, as their respective values are about the same, and my bishop will then have less opposition on the white squares.
I see Danger has joined us. Welcome!

This is turning out to be quite entertaining.:D
Good luck Adept. I would give a tip out to one of you here but I got lost along the way as to what the current game looks like.:(
Rg2 (from adepts view) take a freeby when ever possible, this will also offset the pawn that started the exchange
kc6 would also be a good move, it will leet you attack some of the pawns in the middle of the board.
I think the first choice is currently the best choice.
Agreed. Rg2 seems to be the best option. a single pawn may not seem like much, but it can make a difference towards the end of the game.Quote:

hmmm, I don't see it as a freebie! I see it as finally being able to start evening the score on pawns :D

Reason:
ALthough I could move the threatened pawn along file f, I think leaving it in place for now and moving up my rook to protect it is a wiser move.
It protects adequately the pawn, should your own proceed to take it, while it also threatens your own rook when I do move the pawn on file f.
I think it's also the best move to make if I want to continue exchanging material with you in a manner that keeps our numbers fairly equal in the upcoming moves.
it may not be the best move... but I think its the one I would do. Moving the Pawn to C5. Looking several moves ahead this may give you an advantage. Unfortunately, it also diminishes the protective barrier of pawns around your king. Its a give and take move, but my style would leed me more towards this option.
If Adept takes your Pawn, you take his Rook. If he instead ignores this threat, you may (depending on if he develops any 'counter-threats') take his Pawn. if he moves the Pawn up one space, you can move your Knight to C6. Although this puts your Knight in immediate danger, Adept will probably not take it. If he does, you can counter by taking his Rook. If he does not, you can use your Knight to take the Pawn at E5.
There are other moves as well which may be better... but its getting late and if I think about it to much longer I might fall asleep at my desk.
ok, I am REALLY tired. I realised it just after I posted the last reply, but I still think that what I've suggested thus far is a valid/good move. once you take his rook with your rook, he can take your rook with his king. You can then put his king into check. depending on how you play it out, this could be an acceptable situation. But I don't think you should sacrifice your Knight to get it. like I said... I'm tired... its late... I may be way of on my suggestions right now...
good luck
pf4, several reasons, first, you move it out of the range of the bishop, freeing your knight to move. you only allow his pawn to move up one square rather then two. if he decides not to move his pawn up, you can move it again, gaining protection for your rook
Grrr, I have looked and looked and looked and I cannot come up with a better move than pf4... looks like I will have to play Adepts game for a few more moves... :(
