Hi guys, if anyone is interested, this variation could be played too. :)

P.s: It is not spam! :D

Aetheldred

22 games at once? I don't have the time, but I'll consider joining just because it's you Laughing

MSC157

I don't have either. But it's unrated so I see no problems in losing some games accidentally. ;)

Oh, and if you join then thank you so much. If you don't then thanks for considering it at least. ;)

Aetheldred

I don't care about ratings, at all. You're right, I'll join, even if I have to play in the toilet :)

MSC157

Oh, thank you again! If I don't manage to get enough players till morning, I will post the link on the first page of daily puzzle. It will be quick then. :)

Komodo TCEC agrees :)

So 15...Bg4 it is. Again, I don't see any other way to save the piece, so...

It becomes fairly evident that the pawn is lost. All that is left of advantage is the hole on d4, so 16.f3 with the idea that the queen can support d4 from f2 without getting in the way of other pieces.

Spark replies to f3 with Rxe5.

Looks like f3 was a mistake by Irontiger.  My engines say black is now slightly better.

I like Bxe5, which would punish any other mistake, and saves all material and that discovered attach must not be ignored, though Rxe5 that others are suggesting is also good. If you aren't using engines, here are candidate moves I'd suggest:-

Bxe5, Rxe5, Bh5, h6, Bc5+

Correct me if there is any move better than worst move here.

As a person, I would probably pick Bxe5. But all computers seem to say Rxe5. And black has the advantage. We will probably win then!

Chessmaster plays Rxe5

Otomun

Stockfish prefers Rxe5.

LoekBergman

Sjeng prefers Rxe5 too. It is the only move that it considers.

Lyusternik

Fritz 6 plays Rxe5.

johnyoudell

White's advantage appears to be gone - I start to prefer black.

16... Rxe5

Irontiger

I can't see why I am dead yet, but I guess I will find out soon. 17.Qf2 :
