This seems like an important moment in the game. I need more time to think about some possible plans.

Agreed. This is like Part 2 of the game starting here. I think we can try to further simplify by exchanging queens and knights? Our e pawn seems to be in a bit of a pickle and I think Black obviously prefers opening the b file to c file for their attack. |

What is the planned follow up to h6? I looked at Qf5 and f3 because it is hard to activate either knight without dealing with e4 first. I am worried about 25.h6 cxd5 26.cxd5 b5 which looks precarious for us. h6: 1 vote (GoldTiger69) Qf5: 1 vote (languagehasmeaning) |

I am worried about 25.h6 cxd5 26.cxd5 b5 which looks precarious for us. h6: 1 vote (GoldTiger69) Qf5: 1 vote (languagehasmeaning) Well, after 25.h6 cxd5 26.Nxd5, menacing 27.Nxf6+ (forking King and Queen); and even if 26.Nxd5 Nxe4 27.Nxe4 Qxe4+ 28.Ka1 and that's all the attack for white, because if they do 28... Qc2 29.Nxf6+ Rxf6 30.Qxg5+ Kf7 31.Qg7+ Ke8 32.Rh8+ Rf8 33.Rxf8# As we can see, the only piece defending good the black King is the pawn on f6. If we remove that defender, the game is ours. So, I think h6 is way to good move, because it give us a mayor pivot point to make our definitive attack. Edit: I just realize of my mistake on thinking that after 28.Ka1 that would be all. Now I see that black could do 28... Qd4+ leading to mate in the next move. And 28.Kc1 doesn't work either because of 28... Nd3+ with the possibility of winning the Queen in the next move. Edit2: I'm wrong again; after 28...Nd3+, black doesn't wins the Queen if 29.Kb1; but then it would be a Queens exchange. So, after all, h6 wasn't that bad. But I don't like Qf5 because of the resulting double pawn. So I'll change my vote to: f3: 1 vote (GoldTiger69) Qf5: 2 votes (languagehasmeaning, tifozi) |

Well, after 25.h6 cxd5 26.Nxd5, menacing 27.Nxf6+ (forking King and Queen);
Rxf6 counters that and even if 26.Nxd5 Nxe4 27.Nxe4 Qxe4+ 28.Ka1 and that's all the attack for white
It's a Mate in 3 from there! 28. Ka1 Qd4+ etc |

Rxf6 counters that If black does that, then 28.Qxg5+ wins the Rook; unless they try 28... Kf7 29.Qg7+ Qxg7 30.Rxg7+ with a good chances for Queening (or winning the Rook on a8). and even if 26.Nxd5 Nxe4 27.Nxe4 Qxe4+ 28.Ka1 and that's all the attack for white
It's a Mate in 3 from there! 28. Ka1 Qd4+ etc You're right, I just realize of that, thanks. |

But we would be 2 pawns down. |

I agreed with you; exchanging the Queens only helps black because it releases the pressure on their King and it leave us with doubled-isolated pawns, which is not the best pawn structure :/ |

Ties will be decided based on the recommendation from ArticMine: We need a tie breaking mechanism. For example one can look at the result before the vote that led to the tie and use that instead.
