Chess Talk (Canada) vs OzChess (Australia)

Re: Chess Talk (Canada) vs OzChess (Australia)

We can try 4.Nf3 as well.

Re: Chess Talk (Canada) vs OzChess (Australia)

It looks like it's a horse-race. We have one vote each for:

4.h4
4.f4
4.Nf3

Who is going to break this deadlock for us by voting?

Against f4, Qh5 would be really good for white, but I'm pretty sure that they will not play that.

Nf3 is a good move, but I prefer to vote for h4, planning a long castle...

EDIT: Mr. Armstrong, I was curious to see if Fritz 11 likes our move.... It is his favorite one!

I'll vote for 4.h4 as well.

Hi Felix:

There is a difference between Fritz 10 & 11 - I only have Fritz 10 - for the Fritz 10 program ( at depth 18 ) 4.h4 is the third choice of Fritz, by a very thin margin. But I chose it anyway, for its aggressiveness ( and it still kept the " clear " advantage to W that we had on the previous move - according to Fritz 10 )!

I'll change my mind and vote for 4.h4 as well.

Hi Guys,

I noticed someone from Chess Talk created a Linkback to the correspondening thread to this one on OzChess. Great idea, and it has made things easier for everyone. I was just curious though, how exactly was this accomplished?

Best Regards,

Alex

Vote for CT move 5

I vote 5.Nf3 - keeps an eye on the dP.

Do you guys still need a day or two to choose your next move?

Re: Chess Talk (Canada) vs OzChess (Australia)

Hi Alex:

I don't think so. I think we have a very small Canadian CT team actually playing - only a few are voting - me, Caeasr, Hans, Felix, the 2 Jasons and once Luke ( did I miss anybody? ).

Re: Chess Talk (Canada) vs OzChess (Australia)

While 5. h5 is very tempting, I'll stick with a solid Nf3.

Hi Egis:

Great to have you on the team !
