RHP against the Fritz 9 master.

1 for 10.a3
2 for 10.Bc4
and I vote for 10.a3 , becuase it prevents enemy activity on the b4 sqaure making it ,
2 for 10.Bc4
2 for 10.a3
8 minutes remaining before voting ends and an extra day will be allocated to our timebank.

I vote for Bc4.

Voting has now ended and the move , 10.Bc4 will be submitted to CHESS . Please wait for up to 30 minutes to receive a reply.

CHESS has made reply to our move , 10.Bc4 , by playing 10...Be7
Game History :
1. d4 d5
2. c4 Nc6
3. Nf3 Bg4
4. cxd5 Bxf3
5. dxc6 Bxc6
6. Nc3 Nf6
7. f3 e6
8. e4 Qd7
9. Be3 Rd8
10. Bc4 Be7

We can castle, and probably should unless there's a good reason not to.

By checking through CHESS's analysis , he has anlyzed hugely on the contempts of 11.Qb3 , he hugely predicts we'll play there . 11.Qb3 is a problem for him as well as being a defence for us thus preventing 10... b5 any longer .
23 hours remaining before voting ends .

If we move e5 then that can be followed up with Ng4, fxg4, Bxg2 which looks bad or have I missed something. I am playing particularly bad at the moment so it is probably the latter. 😕

I vote for 11. 0-0 (2)

Be7 seems fruitless, IMHO. Black most certainly castle king-side leaving White with little more then the potential to cause some havoc queen-side.

Playing e5 and chasing off the posted knight seems to be the better bet.

3 for 11.0-0
19 hours + 45 minutes remaining before the move , 11.0-0 is submitted to CHESS.

Qb3, then perhaps 0-0-0

I don't think castling queenside is good for us. We'll face a black pawn majority there and CHESS will push those pawns since he will castle kingside. Castling kingside seems the most logical move, so I'll vote for that one, unless someone convinces me.

11. 0-0 (4)

edit: if Amalgamut votes for 11. Qb3 it is:
11. 0-0 (4)
11. Qb3 (1)
