David versus Goliat...

[Carolus Rex]

Make your choice, Sire!

i) An invitation to a somewhat dangerous exchange with (perhaps) strong play for white along the c-line?

Or

ii) Preparing an attack of my own?

Or

iii) The Losing Move?

Time will tell...

Hm... No response. Good or bad sign?

Chesswise it doesn't mean anything, neither good, nor bad. As for my life in general you could get some understanding ... but eh, it's only a game.

I disagree. Long time, no response = opponent is thinking (I'm disregarding your busy life here...). Opponent is thinking because a) he's in trouble = good for me or b) my move is weak and he's trying to find how to best take advantage of it.

Carolus, la vie n’est parfois pas simple et je pense que Fischer avait tort de prétendre que les échecs étaient comme la vie. Aux échecs on joue et on gagne ou perd. Et après il y a une autre partie.
Dans la vie, la frontière entre le bonheur et le malheur est parfois difficile à discerner et de confuses situations peuvent survenir et faire oublier les échecs. Surtout que dans la vie, on ne revient jamais en arrière et qu’il n’y a qu’une seule partie.
Your move are rather good, I think, but my head is somewhat elsewhere and the delay of my answers tell nothing about the state of the game, but only of my spirits. It’s an interesting game, let’s play and leave the existential questions for more important matters.
