Current positionBased on the votes in this thread Team Monero has chosen to play c6. Now it is time for Team Boolberry to respond. I will plan to count votes again tomorrow at approximately 0:00 UTC. white to moveTeam Boolberry (white pieces) vs. Team Monero (black pieces)Game 2 PGN: 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.c4 Bg7 4.Nc3 O-O 5.e4 d6 6.Be2 e5 7.d5 a5 8.Bg5 h6 9.Be3 Na6 10.h3 Nh5 11.Qd2 Nf4 12.O-O-O Nxg2 13.Bxh6 Bxh6 14.Qxh6 Qf6 15.Kb1 Nf4 16.Nd2 Nc5 17.h4 a4 18.h5 Qg7 19.Qg5 a3 20.b3 f6 21.Qg3 g5 22.Rdg1 Qh7 23.Bg4 Bxg4 24.Qxg4 c6

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.

h6: 1 vote (GoldTiger69)
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

Well, after 25.h6 cxd5 26.Nxd5, menacing 27.Nxf6+ (forking King and Queen); 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.

Qf5 voters are still winning right now because of the rule to break a tie:(

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.
