The queen has to move again ! It is chaos itself, over the board I would be lost, I am afraid. So many variations and so many ideas for both sides. And whatever the move order, you lose possibilites. For example Rh3-e3 is something I won’t do soon. And what’s more, I know that my next move will yet be much tougher to find. Luckily, it’s the same for black !

hehehe...quite a "messy" game you have here.

That move was the only one I could make, I think. But the Hive Queen does not like it there! She's a little bit claustrofobic and the space around her is getting scaringly small...

I had so many plans ! I chose the safer one, following more my intuiton than 4 days of calculation (since Qh6 was forced). But it’s not so safe ...

[Carolus Rex]

I may not be able to make my move until next week. An unexpected event will probably take me away tomorrow night and over the week-end.

And I have to look carefully for my next move...

Carolus

[Carolus Rex]

Yes, it's confirmed. I'm leaving for a conference. I'll post next week...

BTW, I mostly looked at 15. h5 and 15. Bh3 (with a3 coming later). Why can you never do as I expect you to do? But maybe it will "only" be a reversed order of moves?

Carolus

[Julius Brenzaida]

Yes, be careful with the next move !
I hope the unexpected wasn't bad news
h5 and Bh3 were possible as at least 5 other moves
It's so complicated

That also seemed to be a forced move. Sorry for the long wait, but I am sharing this computer and can't always post when I like.

15 Bc5 was maybe possible with a piece sacrifice ... So many possibilities. I’ve headed for the safest move, because it was too much of a mess for me. Strangely, maybe over the board, I would have tried something else, like 15 Qe4, but here I want to remain careful. You’d have all the time to find dangerous attacking moves.
