Humble Request

I do not think it is too much to ask that anyone who does vote SIGN their vote with ~~~~. If you don't have a registered account, it takes 30 seconds and is entirely worth the time. It makes it easier to carry on conversations with everyone else about the moves and will quiet any doubters of unfair voting practice. --mayorcj^SR 21:43, 29 June 2006 (PDT)

Today's Suggested Moves will be posted after Ze's broadcast, and the voting polls will open @7PM EST and close at 12AM EST, in order to give time for enough deliberation before the votes are cast. If you cannot post a vote between 7PM and 12AM, you can vote early, just post it in the move discussion. We're trying to avoid 'early adoption' votes so that we have plenty of moves in consideration before votes are cast, but we also want to be fair to those that may have limited time or access. ßrigade^rant 23:04, 2 July 2006 (PDT)

Contents 1 Humble Request 2 Strategy Discussion 2.1 Suggested Move Summary 2.2 c5 2.3 0-0 2.4 b6

Our Pawn at d5 is still being threatened by the pawn at c4, but it is protected by pawn at e6. The c3 knight no longer threatens d5, as our b4 Bishop has it pinned to his king. We have also advanced our Knight to f3 in preparation to possibly assault Ze's position, and fortified it with our pawns at d5 and f5. Ze has advanced his Bishop to d3, in preparation to castle, and simultaneously threatening our Knight, which is covered by our pawns at f5 and d5.

Also, please don't be too hesitant to suggest your own move in this section. Just use * to begin a line and add your idea, even if you aren't familiar with notation, or don't feel comfortable updating the boards/suggestions yourself, there are plenty of us that will be more than willing to set them up for you (and keep everything organized) ßrigade^rant

• What do we think Ze is doing with the bishop? Is he just moving it so he can castle or does he have SOME SORT OF DEVIOUS SCHEME AFOOT? Discuss. He who says zonk 11:36, 5 July 2006 (PDT)

Suggested Move Summary

Suggested Move Not Quite Tarrasch: 7. Bd3 c5	Suggested Move Castle King-side: 7. Bd3 0-0	Suggested Move Fianchetto? 7. Bd3 b6

c5

• I bet I sound like a broken record. Things are getting pretty intense in the middle and I'd like to let the queen have access to the entire board, not just d-h. medwards^talk
  • I think a big question is do we care to respond to his bishop attack against the knight? I don't think we need to bother all that much, and can continue to develop if we're willing to trade our knight for his bishop and recover with our pawns. -arc^blah
    • Precisely, I feel like this situation is still very tenuous and if we can spend more time developing without sacrificing pieces, I say do it. (This means almost any non-capturing move has my support at this point) medwards^talk
    • We need to keep our pawns chained together .. pushing to c5 (for one thing, isn't Tarrasch) and will cost us in the endgame/middlegame. Plus, our Queen is pointed where she needs to be, towards his Kingside. ßrigade^rant 11:52, 5 July 2006 (PDT)

b6

This doesn't work because of 8. Q4, costing us the Bishop
