Rb8

This is a really great game. I don't know yet if Rb8 is good or not, but it's a very good try. The only other alternative was Ra1+, trade a pair of rooks (otherwise your rook is trapped), then cxd5, but after Nxb3 you're two pawns down in endgame, surely enough for me. 

I really don't know if I can grab the guard or if I need to play Nb4 to force your a-rook to capture b2, rather than your b-rook. If I play Nb4, material will end up equal. If I can handle your attack after Nxc7, it's easily winning for me. But can I handle those rooks? I'll probably be using all my time here.

This was premature. Also, don't do this.

I have really enjoyed this game so far. There hasn't been a dull moment yet. You can take as much time as you need there is a lot to calculate.

I dunno how long I've got, but I'll move after my next analysis, which could be this evening, or perhaps tomorrow morning.

Ok if Rb8 is good then it's a fantastic move. I think I can handle the rooks but if I can't, black deserves to win. It's probably a drawn position if I play Nb4, but I think grabbing the guard is winning for me. If I'm wrong, I'm losing. This will be fun.
