Voting CLOSED Until 7pm

Today's Suggested Moves have been posted, and the voting polls will open at Thursday 7PM EDT and close at Friday 12AM EDT(Thursday night), in order to give time for enough deliberation before the votes are cast. Don't have a username/Id yet? Get one here! and take some credit for your contributions!

Remember to check back even if you've already cast your vote! .. there's still some disagreement between potential moves .. and analysis will most likely continue up until Sunday night when the polls close. It's also not too late to submit a vote for another move that has not been evaluated yet .. (although it looks like we have most of the best move options available, people can always miss things).

• (very) Rough draft of the Fabuloso Chess Edit Guide is now up and located here

Use the following tags to help suggest moves, and remember if you want to throw up an example speculative board in the discussion, please refer to the Edit Guide on how to properly format it.

 <!-- ==Speculative Move== -->

 <!-- REMOVE THIS LINE TO INSERT BOARD

  REMOVE THIS LINE TO INSERT BOARD -->

 <!-- MAKE CERTAIN YOU ADD A COMMENT TO JUSTIFY THIS POSITION-->

{{clear}}

Just follow the instructions, and completely delete those lines .. and don't forget to replace 'Speculative Move' with the actual move name. Also bear in mind that anything after the clear tag won't be visible, so don't enter any text underneath it (unless you're adding another section)

• It seems like we have to do something to save our bishop and prevent the eventual fork of our knight and queen. PTWhipplebang 10:59, 20 July 2006 (PDT)

• I don't think we should allow him the "out" of saying that if he hadn't made a typo he would have won. I think it's important that we let him make the move he thought was the best move. Even though he is saying plan on - I think we should revet back so that we play out what he considers his best course...

• Wrote that before the show and still think it: "As far as I am concerned His Mighty Duckness could, if he somehow got something mixed up (it is pretty hot these days), take back the move and do the 16th move he wanted to make" ; We should keep playing from 16. d5 --Oeny 11:05, 20 July 2006 (PDT)

• I think we should revert to his intended move, just my $.02 Kingpatzer 11:12, 20 July 2006 (PDT)
• I think he should have been more careful if he didn't want to make a mistake. We already gave him a chance to take the move back, and he said "play on." PTWhipplebang 11:17, 20 July 2006 (PDT)

• I'd vote for going back a move. Though I don't see him as being in any better shape with the d5 move...Otis 11:18, 20 July 2006 (PDT)
