regarding the second question, well we have around 10-15 votes for each move on average

some of our team members do get busy from time to time so they may not vote on every turn....

on some obvious moves the votes may be a bit low... since the others except that the obvious move will be played

but the real fun in team games are moves where there are a number of seemingly good continuations and there is analysis and counter analysis in search of the best option :D

Nice. I had some killer replies for 20. ..Ba6 :)
Would be fun to compare analysis post mortem.

I would be most interested in your analysis for 20...Kg7 especially if it followed the continuation I had in mind upto move 24 :)

I do hope we have a nice post game session since I am sure the Team has a lot of interesting chess questions for you

We may still transpose to some of my analysis for 20. ..kg7, so I'll wait with my answer for later if that's okay.

For now:

21. Nc7

Oh, and a conditional - if 24. ..Rb8 then 25. Ba7 with a draw offer.

[I'm not hiding that I do hope your team declines the 3-fold repetition and plays on for a decisive result]
