smallblackcat(1960) whispers: oh, that too
Diboss(2130) whispers: no, was just wondering about the discovery against the queen
smallblackcat(1960) whispers: Ra1 is probably not so good here
smallblackcat(1960) whispers: maybe just Rf1, intending Nxe4 next, if allowed
alphafoxtrot(1785) whispers: Rf1 seems best spot
Diboss(2130) whispers: black's got a pretty strong position
