D5 Well, if we're using the queen for pin shenanigans, let's hope it works out well. and if the bait isn't taken, other stuff can be done at least.

Yeah, I think that bishop move would make Qxd5 either worth doing on this turn, or not happening at all, at least for a while. Qxd5 Edit: If they really want to move the knight to NC5, wouldn't it be best to move the queen to somewhere on the E column(that isn't 4) and force them to waste a turn stopping a mate? Or would that just waste tempo for no real effect? Talow fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Jul 12, 2017 |

c6 because then oh well, we lose a pawn, we get their queen in exchange. Hopefully this isn't a terrible idea.

Honest question: what's stopping cx6 from being viable?

Snorb posted:No rule against castling out of a pin, but the king can't castle into, out of, or through check. Through check? so what, like if a rook was threatening the space right next to the king, you can't castle past it?

I have to agree, Qd7 seems like the best move here out of all the options.

Hmm. Yeah, Qc7 seems like the best move here.

I think he was referring to using their bishop to take the knight. not the queen.

Snorb posted:bxc6 has my vote. This. because otherwise they effectively force a queen trade and force the king to move anyway via Bxb7, Qxb7, Qxb7, and Kxb7 If I'm understanding the board right anyway.

Have to agree, Rd1+. If we're losing, might as well lose with style.
