...in a muddle again

[david02]

sure you want to play Nd5? :-)

There are other squares where the horsie feels much healthier. if this is a sac that is fine by me but you may take back the move if you want. If not I take it with exd5.

[Barbarossa]

No, that's cool, I sort of knew you were going to do exd5...

I knew it was possible to save the horse, but that would block in my other pieces, and I think I'd lose any territorial advantage I may have

The board is too crowded anyway
