For a bit of fun, I have started an Online game against XG and would really like for everyone to join in. Every day you will be able to vote for the best move. It's in Facebook so you can check it out here https://www.facebook.com/groups/535417609986046/
How will you play 41?

I'm not on Facebook, so I'll post my reply here. I used to play 6/5* 24/20 in this position, but have recently switched to 6/5* 13/9.

Thanks Bill. I chose to run it on Facebook because many people do have an account and it is easy for me to set up a poll so people can vote from the top 7 moves (I have to make it easy for me to manage). You could always join FB under a pseudonym so that you can play along and comment without being bugged by people wanting to be your friend.

The vote was split down the middle between 6/5* 13/9 and 6/5* 24/20. 6/5* 13/9 was chosen as it is the better move. You can find out what happens next at
