This is a "Policy" market. The "Stake" market is

You can suggest any move here, but in order to vote on a move you need to be holding YES in the stake market.

In order to vote, you should make a comment that says "!VOTE <move>". Only your latest vote counts. I'll randomly select a suggested move, weighted by the number of YES shares in the stake market held by the users who voted for it. The precise evaluation time will be "some point soon after this market closes" but I'm not committing to any particular time.

This market resolves to the chosen move, and that move will be used for the continuation of the game.

"Resign" is a valid move.

Switching yet again to try disrupt any last minute snipers. !vote c6

!VOTE c6

So, 20 min before decision time, we got two generals accounted for and two missing. Might we be in Byzantium? Can we go to battle with this faulty strategy?

Changed my mind again. I really think our knight and white-squares bishop are huge against white’s king side. Both of them are imo worth more than the silly wandering white queen. This gives us way more options, even some mate lines if SFL3 gets sloppy.

@deagol !VOTE Nef6

Didn’t really look very closely at the position and this seems like a dandy enough move

bought Ṁ10 of Nxf2

!VOTE Nxf2

bought Ṁ2 of Nef6

@AndrewG worst ever

!VOTE c6

Since we did not play Nf6, we can move the pawn now to scare off the queen.

After walking through the stockfish lines, c6 actually goes pretty aggro over the next few moves -- we can walk away with a rook or a queen, at least

!VOTE c6

@citrinitas how? Qd3 holds

bought Ṁ10 of c6

@deagol Nxg3 and then it's a fork

Actually the only move that isn't a really nice fork is Qa5, that just turns into a slog

@citrinitas ok I see it now, but at the cost of our 2 best pieces, the immortal knight and the white-squared bishop

sold Ṁ6 of Nef6

@deagol Still think mine was better, but I do agree this is more fun !vote c6

@citrinitas btw this line probably requires over 90% alignment in votes
