I would currently vote for

33. Rd2

or

33. Rb1

Checking 33. f5

Yes, but 6 votes were considered decisive. But moving within 8 hours gives no time for review or possible changed votes ;) and will exclude some people completely. I still believe to allow for time zones, work and sleep 24 hours should be a minimum? Can we have a vote - I am more than happy to go w...

I did not have time to look in detail but

32. Rd2
32. Bc4
32. Bc2

seemed alternate possibilities?

My vote

29. Bxd3 Qxd4+ 30. Kh2 I am now getting (0.00)

all the 29. Kh2 lines seemed it be scoring a little worse it may well draw but there seemed to be a number of draws from 29 Bxd3 and the engines see them.

I would make a draw offer!

Looks like I am not the only one who would prefer a slower rate of play...

I currently prefer

29. Bxd3 Qxd4+ 30. Kh2 (-0.04)

but vote for more time

Looking at the 29.Kh2 line I currently have

29. Kh2 Qb2+ 30. Qe2 Qxe2+ 31. Nxe2 Nc5 with 32. Kh3 (-0.15) rather than 32. Nc3 (-0.15) ???

I am focusing analysis on the 29. Kh2 line and will post again later

Thanks for the reminder Steve...

Second guess 3200 (so that makes my guesses 2000 and 3200)

This is an interim version I would stick with 1.4.1SE which is an official release (with multiple compiles 1, 2, 4 and 8CPUs /source etc).

Results at CCRL 40/4

and 40/40

Oh generated with Office97 don't ask...

Okay - we are still running Office97 at my work...

We also still have a scattering of NT4 machines, OS/2 etc etc.... we have a software currency project that just does not know where to start

Here you go... http://www.computerchess.info/downloads/TimePerMove(White%20and%20Black).JPG A faster move rate just means if you are not able to check the website for a day a couple of moves can have been played... I have removed the colour label as unless someone is black/white colour blind then it...

P.S. I have the move times for both black and white in a spreadsheet so if anyone wants it just ask - save you some time...

Oh and they are moving slightly faster but mainly due to the effect of conditionals...

Any chance we can keep the time for our reply over 24 hours?

Or at least a vote on it?

Shaun

Expecting

28... Qc3

???

28. f4 Qc3 29. Kh2 Nc4 30. Qe2 Rc8

27.Bxb4

and after 27... Qxb4 28. f4 but lets not rush this, we have a couple of days, when we move too quickly people don't get a chance to look at the moves?

For info - I currently think 28. f4 is significantly better than the alternatives but...
