21. Bf4 or d4...
Bf4 looks better. If d4 black can play c4 and then take our e4 pawn next move

Bitcoin update: Most top chess players have "seconds" who help with opening preparation for certain opponents. Often this done over Skype from far away. One of my seconds has just agreed to accept bitcoin for payment going forward. I am lucky that I can make a good living from playing chess alone. Most "professional" chess players cannot and must supplement their income by coaching or something else. For those that teach online, bitcoin is perfect, especially if your students live in another country. https://twitter.com/ChessBTC/status/650327520034824192

Bf4 will allow Bd6.
But Black would never make such a bad move. 22. Bxd6 Qxd6 (22... Rxd6 loses material to e5) 23. e5 Qd5 (the only way to save both forked pieces) and the f6 knight is forced to retreat next move.

I'm to stupid for this, I can't understand what your tying to say in the bolded. This notation stuff is new to me just from this thread. I'm saying Bf4 will allow Bd6 Now your saying E5 right? Then Black will Bxe5 right? Then if Nxe5 then Qxe5. So e5 would be a stupid move after Bd6 right?

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

Nf4 looks okay to me to as an alternative way to defend d3. All 3 moves above actually seem like decent options. I still slightly prefer Bf4

Although I see no reason why we would ever move Bxd6 in response to Bd6 If instead we play e5 on move 22 things are better for black
21. Bf4 Bd6 22. e5 Bxf3 23. Bxf3 Bxe5
That is also my point why Bf4 is a bad move and that he would respond with Bd6. or 21. Bf4 Bd6 22. e5 Bxf3 23. exd6 Qb7
exd6? No then it would be 23. bxf3 Our bishop taking his bishop. We would exchange a knight for a bishop and would come out ahead on that exchange correct?

I think that's when I lost interest. Gonna sit back again as this is hurting my one braincell thats left. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I can't follow what you're saying at all. We play e5 after Black recaptures, forking the knight and recapturing piece. There is only one way for Black to save both pieces, and it significantly worsens his position. Right, that is why I'm saying Bf4 is not a good move. Although I see no reason why we would ever move Bxd6 in response to Bd6 If instead we play e5 on move 22 things are better for black
Um, what about the reason you just quoted?

We could let the pawn unprotected for this moment. I think if we don't do this he could play Nxe4 and then he destroys our position.

I think this is the best of the worst choices. I certainly don't see a better move and it's long past time those rooks get into action.

The problem I mentioned last move still applies. Rad1 does not stop it: 22.Rad1 Rxd3 23.Rxd3 c4 (forking our queen and rook which will be captured next move) I still vote for 22. Ne5 Rad1 2 votes (Hueristic, dre1982) Ne5 1 vote (xmrpromotions)

i vote Ne5 i don't like how our bishop is immobile Ne5 strengths our position on the center of the board (by supporting d3 and e4) as well as allowing the bishop some mobility. two birds with one stone
we do not need to worry about the rooks just yet
