I'm going to sleep (almost midnight here), but if you play 35 Ng6+ then Bg6, of course.

[Harovan]

Of course. But why would I give you a good active piece, with which I just moved four times in a row, and at the same time relieve your room problem?

I'm at work right now and will be till evening, then my daily two hours walk, before the sun sets. I can play a turn (and my PBEMs) in the late evening. Sorry but I have severe time restraints these days and there's no relief in sight. The daily Apolyton downtime adds to this problem. I won't be able to play more than one, at most two turns a day.

I was wondering that myself.

No problem, I've got similar time constraints now as well.

[MichaeltheGreat]

Besides, I have plenty of room. Very cozy in my little nest.
