Take your time Harvey and choose wisely.
I'm off to bed early tonight, so, if you move soon, please update the game board.

Thanks
James

What do you guys suggest I should play?

After some thought and playing around on my laptop (The 16 core is waiting for some replacement memory) I have decided to play Bd4 I can't update the fen as am at work and can not generate one on this machine.

I mentioned at the start of the game that in answer to 1.b3 I usually play ..d5 and not ...e5.

This game I am currently playing and with some chances. I think ...d5 maybe better

1.b3 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bb2 Bg4 4.e3 Nbd7 5.Be2 e6 6.O-O Bd6 7.d4 O-O 8.c4 c6 9.Nbd2 h6 10.Ne5 Bf5 11.f4 Bb4 12.a3 Bxd2 13.Qxd2 Ne4 14.Qe1 Nxe5 15.fxe5 Qb6 16.b4 Rfc8 17.Bd3 a5 18.c5 Qd8 19.Bxe4 Bxe4 20.Qf2 Qe7 21.bxa5 Rxa5 22.Bc3 Ra4 23.Bb4 Bd3 24.Rfd1 Bc4 25.Rac1 Rf8 26.Qg3 Raa8 27.e4 f5 28.exf6 Qxf6 29.h3 h5 30.e5 Qf4 31.Qxf4 Rxf4 32.Rd2 Kh7 33.Ra1

Well it is still me and my laptop no 16 core - still at the menders

We looked at Rfe1 and a couple of other moves here we prefer Bd7

Well, Harvey, that's not a bad move.
It just makes White's win a little easier. But, I could be wrong.

ok guys Hiarcs, my laptop and I are officially bored and so as you are obviously playing for the draw I will help you along....

if 26.Bxa6 Nd6 27.Bd3 Nf5 28.Bxf5 Bxf5

btw you are now short of time but have you considered 26.Nd1 or will you grab the pawn in true Computer style and effectively make a draw offer?

I expect you to play move 26 within 48 hours of me posting Rd8 - what makes you think you can restart your clock?

Your conditional was not posted with your Rd8 move and the team now has to consider the new line of play you are offering and a new voting cycle has to happen.
How does that work when you play your official CC games?

If i do not receive a reply to Rd8 within 48 hours of me posting it I will claim a loss on time. A conditional is a conditional you can do what you like with it - Rd8 is a move and was made yesterday.
