Qb4!? might appear to be the forced draw that u are looking for... but its an illusion. The double pawn on the third rank is not a weakness for white! Instead its a difficult endgame for black. Thats why it hasn't been played very often. IronMan31 will squease out a win.

My VOTE: Qe7!

Keeps the queens on board. Black is better with it than without it.

Perhaps one our past voters could change their vote? If all else fails that is. Of course the paper, rock, scissors thing is cool too.

hmmm, what do you guys think about changing votes?

I'd prefer to wait to see if its still a tie by midday GMT tomorrow. I think allowing changing of votes could get messy.

Yep, I say wait and see. I only suggested the change vote option if it remains a tie after the deadline.

I'd hate to see the Supreme Court get involved in this....
