Merci Carolus, mais comme les échecs n’ont rien à voir là-dedans, continuons la partie. La terre ne s’arrête pas de tourner.

Increasing the pressure...

To bleed or to make someone else bleed, that is the question...

Didn't see your last post, Julius.

Ok, on with the game then. I will have to be careful here. A position to return to analyse after the game is finished... I also have to take into account that a draw means nothing to me... May have to gamble a little...

Will probably not post until late tomorrow night.

Sorry for the delay!

Had to think about this one... My chosen move looks dangerous, but a draw is no good to me. I have an alternative, but it looks like a draw position (maybe with a slight advantage for black), so I decided to play...

No excuses required, I didn’t even notice there was a delay !
Your move is quite double-edged indeed. The most good I see for me is that my answer is a no-brainer !

Hm... Looks like some very dangerous positions are heading my way if I play the move I've been thinking about...
