Public game 3 black team strategy

To implement a move lets start off by saying that we need 3 agrees to post a move back in the other thread ( we can change later if this is not working)

Move 15

any ideas ?

Take the Knight! Take the Knight! 😉

O.

My proposal is Nc6 or Nf5

15).. Nc6
white might repond

16)Qxe3 then Re8 might give us something to play with 17) Qxe8 Qxe8+ or 17) Ne4... Nb4

It is a bit of a cheap shot as if white developes the other knight instead we will be in a poorer position than

15)....Nf5 16) Nf3 b6 17) 0-0 exd2 18) Bxd2
or we might get some play by 17) Bg7 followed up by Qe7 ?

still looks grim though !

hmm... I'm kind of feeling Bd6, just let that pawn die. Presumably, then, 16. Qxc5+ Kb8 and then even if white brings the queen back to c3, or to a5, we still have massive force bearing down on that d2 square.

yea. brain not working. Bh6. Sorry.

Anyway... yea. Bh6. Ramming the pressure down through that pawn. Obviously, the knight can't move, lest Qe1+ and the king quickly gets forced into the center and beaten on. too lazy to produce actual analysis at the moment, but the possibilities should be clear.

iamatiger and I are sorry for the last move, and with any luck we will work together in this thread to decide what will happen in Public Game 3.

iamatiger trusts it was a good move... I hope it was also. Can't spend time thinking what could have been now.

Nevermind thats what makes playing these games fun, at least we got the element of surprise! Anyway Nd5 looks ok to me. Anybody up for guessing white's next move on the black strategy thread ?

I have no lines, just a quick glance and I am out of here for a few hours.

Ok, not giving anything away, but can anyone see anything better than Qe6?
