After 10. Qc2 ... Nd4 (assuming this is the real move by CM), it seems that the board should look like:
EDIT:
In which case, I vote for 11. Nxd4

EDIT: I didn't notice Qxd4. I don't think it's a good move, but we will have to consider it. All of my above comments were made on the assumption that exd4 would follow.
Originally posted by DeadBeSwallowedWhich means cheesecake would have to change the position back to what it was before and let CM think an hour again to make a proper move. One botched move kinda ruins the whole experiment/point of the match...
Well, seeing that the board is so messed up, it's quite possible that Nd4 isn't CM's proper move. If cheesecake entered in the position we saw, then Nd4 is a good move, but in our REAL position, it seems not so good..
Originally posted by ark13CM could also play Rxd4. I wonder if the method of forcing a move after one hour produces a different result than would simply giving CM a time limit of one hour.

Originally posted by richjohnsonThat's possible, it may want to do that unique/subtle kind of rook lifting technique, similar to that of the Ironman vs RHP match... I don't see the immediate threat mind you...
