Magic Dumpster:Fabuloso Friday 2/Fabuloso Chess/Move6

From zefrank

Qf6

• Sets up a potential future attack at f2, where his board seems weakest and our knight is already covering. Also allows for Qf3 next turn, which attacks his currently unprotected queen while ours is covered by our pawn (I presume as we've opened agreesively, a straight up queen for queen trade is to our advantage). 84.9.49.188 06:40, 1 July 2006 (PDT)

Arrogant request

Fabulosos, there is a tendency of moves going the way ßrigade is pushing. While he is a very good chess player, he too can make a serious mistake and it is a bit disturbing that so few people challange him. I'm going away for a few weeks now and I wish all of you the best of luck! Yes, it's good to listen to what experts like ßrigade has said, but please vote as late as possible after reading what other people have said as well. --gelbi^talk 06:45, 30 June 2006 (PDT)

'going away?' to somewhere they don't have computers?! (sniff)

Yes, something like a two week vacation, without my laptop :O --gelbi^talk 07:15, 30 June 2006 (PDT)

• gelbi has proposed an idea that voting only be allowed between 9pm and midnight of the day of the voting. The point would be to allow ideas to be fleshed out before bandwagon hopping commences. I believe this should be seriously considered:debate here - arc^blah

• Let's try it tonight and see how things go. If you absolutely have to vote earlier, leave your vote on the ARTICLE page, and we can see how many would be affected, otherwise, I suggest opening the vote at 8pm ET, 5pm PT.

• AFTERTHOUGHT ITS FRIDAY! No show Saturday or Sunday! So now we really don't need to worry about it. Let's just open the voting Sunday at Noon ET!
• Actually in the interest of fairness we should probably make it Saturday midnight. That way both sides get the same amount of time to think about moves over the weekend. Plus it'll keep the debate focused here. muyfabuloso^talk 12:11, 30 June 2006 (PDT)

• Yeah, we can decide not to implement it today. I think maybe next monday we should go forward with it, IF that is the general consensus.

Pxc4 - The Terrible Move

Honestly, I think this is a terrible approach as the pawn is left unsupported. But I could be wrong. medwards^talk

• Also it leaves our knight vulnerable -Towline^eh
• Yes, this give ze a knight for free.
• this allows Qxe4. this move is bad.
  • We might want to just remove this actually. arc^blah
    • Agreed. Going to nuke this board and the one in the summary.
