I vote Ba4
Originally posted by mazattackNb6 looks fine, but Nc3 pretty much forces a draw, so knowing this we can at least feel safe about Nxd5
Incidentally, I don't think this is a drawn game anymore. From past analysis I did not think Rd8 would be played and thought Rb7 instead (this is from memory, may be getting this all wrong) looked to be a dead draw.
Rd8 looks too unblanaced, but who is it balanced in favour of?
I suppose Nxd5 Bg1 (if Bf2 we play Nc3 and if Rxd7? Nxd1 threatens bisho ...[text shortened]... off, or do anything to risk it. I genuinly think this will be the make or break point for us.

How so? Id be intrigued to see lines if you have a few
I don't doubt it, just want to check them through.

I think in one of the earlier threads I analyzed ...Nxd5 to be okay for Black as well. Sorry for not contributing much this time, very busy lately! I didn't see anything going horribly wrong in this thread, so I didn't feel any necessity! 😀 Nice work guys

Originally posted by mazattackWell, I still haven't put time into the Nb6 line, but I'm already guessing that if we want to continue the fight then this has to be the line to play. My thoughts are that we can analyze this after our opponents reply to Nxd5 which I'm sure is winning the vote currently. I'm happy to know we have secured ourself with at least a draw should we not find any fighting continuations.
After your line, resigning soon (which i agree with) is there anyway to divert from the drawn line that you can see? I cant see it, but, possibly we could choose to avoid the draw and try and play on to snatch material in light of potential revealed checks, tactis with the king boxed in
