My vote for exchanging knights.
Not keeping score though, it seems to be unanimous.

What about Nf4? That defends the d3 pawn.
You also threaten to play Nxe6 at an appropriate time.
If he tries to drive the pawn away through e5, you can play Ng6


3 votes for Bf4 (Foxpup, xmrpromotions, gotmilk_)
1 vote for Ne1 (dre1982)
1 vote for Nf4 (jjacob)

A safe deposit box is good, but can the government force the bank to open the safe deposit box?
In some jurisdictions, I think the government's order would be binding on the bank. In that case, the government can seize your bitcoins at any time.

After looking at the position once again I want to change my vote to Ne2.

I updated the count. Lets start using the idea here of keeping the current totals updated with each new vote until someone starts a vote only thread.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1148538.460

2 votes Ne1 language dre
5 votes Ne2 xmr newb reckless boolberry eris
1 vote Rd2 fox
1 vote h4 timelord


You missed my vote for Ne2, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.

2 votes Ne1 language dre
6 votes Ne2 xmr newb reckless boolberry eris jjacob
1 vote Rd2 fox
1 vote h4 timelord

Nxb5 was my first thought too.
But we don't get any great positional advantage from that. So I will pass.

I don't have a strong preference, but my vote is for Ne2.

If he plays Nd4 we sure can't take his Knight...
The knight is untouchable,
Huh I don't understand. 19. Bxd4 cxd4 20. Ne2 and we've opened the c-file with slight pressure on Black's d-pawn. Isn't that an improvement on our current position? What am I missing?
The knight is pinned to the queen as of now.

After Bxd4 cxd4 Ne2 he can play e5 and lock up both of our bishops rendering them useless

After Bxd4 cxd4, we have just one bishop. Smiley

I will go for Qb3 as well.

This will be my line of play if he plays Nd4. However, I would like to retain the bishop for a little bit longer.  Smiley

I will just up and vote Be3 because even if I could find a better move it's unlikely the community will be swayed away from that choice Tongue


Looks like Be3 is the move to make.  Smiley

Be3 is an attacking move.
Let us play it and wait for the GM's response.

No more rocket fuel to the moon or not, still there is a lot of money to be made just by staying in bitcoins. Also, it is not surprising that we are not actually going up price-wise. Big investors and companies only put their money in the block chain technology, and not the cryptocurrency itself. If that happens, then we might even see even a glimpse of the moon that all of us wanted to see.

people here still think we'll see huge peaks like in 2012, 2013, 2014, but these peaks won't come back as traders don't react to news anymore. can't think of anything realistic that will make the price jump considerably right now. we need to have patience.


Forget your coins until retirement will be a good strategy.

Is anybody else interested in Ng5?
If it was a local game, I would have played it. I am not sure if it is the right move against a Grand Master.

Black can just play h6 and force you to retreat.

If your idea is to eventually play d4 (or dxc4 after c4) opening the queen and then e5 hoping the f6 knight will move so you can play Qxh7 check, it wont work. If it does work it will prove we are not really playing a GM.

Fair point. It was a long shot.
I will change my move to h3.
