- Unless he decides to trade pawns, castle. muyfabulosotalk 23:59, 28 June 2006 (PDT)
- I'd say let's see what he does first .. if he advances his bishop, then we should castle. If he doesn't make an offensive move, let's further develop. We don't want to castle to one side or the other until we establish how he's setting up his offensive. ßrigaderant
- Changed my mind .. let's not speculate on "what his move will be" in case he's reading through the wiki .. don't want to show our hand and help him avoid a fatal mistake. :-)

- Yeah, probably not a good idea to mention things _before_ our move. Now that he has moved, I would advocate against castling. It seems a little too early, and there is more potential to get our pieces into play. -arc
- It's too early to castle .. he can't place us into check so there's no rush. Better for us to gut him while we can (See Ne4 Suggestion below)
- Speculating one move ahead isn't giving away much; it's probably impossible to have an intelligent discussion about the midgame without talking 5 moves ahead, let alone one. Besides, there's no way to predict what the community will vote on. Even if castle is the "correct" move (I'm not saying it is), people may want to take it in a different direction entirely through whimsy, incompetence, or even better strategy. Think about it this way: if he moved e3 in order to get us to castle, then we've manipulated him into doing something. There's a game-within-a-game here and talking about moves (or even providing false debate that he follows and gets confused by) might be the way to gain advantage. All that said, I won't post again like this, but I'd encourage other fabulosos to consider the option. muyfabulosotalk
- Voting??? Is this like a prediction game...?
- LoL .. no it just seems like some people put their vote in the discussion .. and people have forgotten to create a voting section for their official votes. Just being proactive. :-)
Moving it here, as it was a comment before Ze made his move... now this has turned into a real move suggestion. gelbitalk
