I am not happy about our rook on h1 passively defending h5, but it is not clear to me what we should do about it.

How about f3?, so we can move our Rook out of h1. I really think that should be our very next move. |

This may be my last post for several weeks. The key to this endgame is piece activity. Good luck to both teams.
My schedule does not allow time for any distractions right now, but you can expect my return by early next month. Depending on several factors I may decide to reveal my identity when I return. Whether that happens or not I do have some ideas to help Monero and plan to contribute more in the future.

Good luck in the tournament We are rooting for you.  I will be stoked if my prediction is right  I just saw the thread Lets play a game of Chess. It's fascinating to see @letsplayagame (who I suspect is GM Aronian) interested in crypto (BTC and allegedly aware of privacy focused technologies). Let's pitch an idea of BTC vs CryptoNote chess match to him |

We grab the pawn but we are not improving our position. f3: 1 vote (GoldTiger69) Nxb7: 1 vote (Morecoin) Nxb7 is a very good move, but it can be done latter I mean, the b pawn is going nowhere  and the problem by doing it now is 33... Nc3+ 34.Ka1 Ne4 harassing our f pawn and we ain't gonna be able to defend it because our Rook is already protecting the h pawn and file 1, so we will loose the f pawn if we don't move it now  |
