< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 15 OF 15 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-15-13    truefriends: I kind of expect <Kd6> after both <Bd1> or <Kg2> cause his bishops are ideally placed on d7 and b4 to stop our intended setup. May-15-13    Ceri: I ran a Houdini check on his options. At 40 ply, the top 4 were all +0.81 for White. Perhaps the equality is delaying a response. I would rather expect Bb4 on the grounds that the Bishop has been there before and because of the Be1 option. Cheers, Ceri May-15-13    DcGentle: Let's say Black moves <Bb4> then we can enforce our setup by <1. Bd1 Kd6 2. Bc1> click for larger view Now Black is forced to make a bad move. After that either <Kg3> or even <g5> can follow. May-15-13    truefriends: Seems like white cant play <3.Kg3> if the black DSB stays on b4, cause <3... Be1+> May-15-13    DcGentle: If Black doesn't play <1... Kd6> but <1... Bd6>, it's more precise to follow up with <2. Bd2> in order to prevent a reappearance of this bishop on b4 after an immediate Kg3, which would be annoying. click for larger view Black to move cannot prevent the next white move <Kg3>, and if the black bishop leaves the diagonal c8 - h3 even <g5> instead of Kg3 can follow, because White can deal with f5 and fxg5. May-15-13    DcGentle: <<truefriends>: Seems like white cant play <3.Kg3> if the black DSB stays on b4, cause <3... Be1+>> *hmmm* Black has to move something. But we can also try to move <Kg2> after <Bb4>. Lemme see. May-15-13    truefriends: < DcGentle: If Black doesn't play <1... Kd6> but <1... Bd6>, it's more precise to follow up with <2. Bd2> in order to prevent a reappearance of this bishop on b4 after an immediate Kg3, which would be annoying.> Yes this was my plan exactly... May-15-13    DcGentle: Not easy, maybe a bishop move to h6 is necessary, but anyways, if Bb4 will stay there, maybe you still need luck. It's only black king moves that will enable this, maybe it's not so likely. I dunno.... And the black bishop on b4 could have been avoided too, but this is past. May-16-13    truefriends: And ofcourse the best move was played <55... Bb4> click for larger view WHITE TO MOVE... May-16-13    DcGentle: I am up to something new.
