I didnt mean that his move was novel... I just meant that with 2-10 game left to look at in databases, depending on which one your looking it, all moves are "novel" from here on out.
Move 13. Conditional Move Thread

Bb7 is the safe, obvious, and probably best next move. This is good because hoping he takes longer with his next turn, Saturday will be our next voting day and I will probably not be on at all (unless my phone gets good repetion where ill be), so there wont need to be much cajoling in the main forum.
after Bb7 is a little hazy though as i dont have a full grasp on both sides strategies yet... hopefully i have a couple days to think through it (which is how long itll take since ill be offline most of these next two days)
Assuming b6 holds out, our next move is likely Bb7. Other moves are possible though, and we always need to plan for novel moves from him now.
Given that I think he placed his vote within a few hours of our votes tallying, we also cannot trust that we will have anywhere near a 24 hour buffer to discuss moves while it is his turn.
