Make your choice, Sire!

i) An invitation to a somewhat dangerous exchange with (perhaps) strong play for white along the c-line?

Or

ii) Preparing an attack of my own?

Or

iii) The Losing Move?

Time will tell...

Chesswise it doesn't mean anything, neither good, nor bad. As for my life in general you could get some understanding ... but eh, it's only a game.

I disagree. Long time, no response = opponent is thinking (I'm disregarding your busy life here...). Opponent is thinking because a) he's in trouble = good for me or b) my move is weak and he's trying to find how to best take advantage of it.

Carolus, la vie n’est parfois pas simple et je pense que Fischer avait tort de prιtendre que les ιchecs ιtaient comme la vie. Aux ιchecs on joue et on gagne ou perd. Et aprθs il y a une autre partie.
Dans la vie, la frontiθre entre le bonheur et le malheur est parfois difficile ΰ discerner et de confuses situations peuvent survenir et faire oublier les ιchecs. Surtout que dans la vie, on ne revient jamais en arriθre et qu’il n’y a qu’une seule partie.
Your move are rather good, I think, but my head is somewhat elsewhere and the delay of my answers tell nothing about the state of the game, but only of my spirits. It’s an interesting game, let’s play and leave the existential questions for more important matters.

Increasing the pressure...

Didn't see your last post, Julius.

Ok, on with the game then. I will have to be careful here. A position to return to analyse after the game is finished... I also have to take into account that a draw means nothing to me... May have to gamble a little...

Will probably not post until late tomorrow night.

Sorry for the delay!

Had to think about this one... My chosen move looks dangerous, but a draw is no good to me. I have an alternative, but it looks like a draw position (maybe with a slight advantage for black), so I decided to play...

No excuses required, I didn’t even notice there was a delay !
Your move is quite double-edged indeed. The most good I see for me is that my answer is a no-brainer !
