Sep 11, 2016 at 23:24 comment added Noam D. Elkies If Rc1 then Ba3 (noted by CognisMantis) actually traps the Rook (Ra1 Bb2). Since you're going to lose the Exchange, you might as well continue with c4, but it seems a rather speculative sacrifice.
Sep 11, 2016 at 11:04 comment added Dag Oskar Madsen Interesting position. I agree that long castle seems dubious.

Sep 10, 2016 at 21:47 comment added CognisMantis c4 looks good. Also, Rc1, instead of Bd6, Ba3 then Bd6 should be considered for your opponent.

Sep 10, 2016 at 19:53 comment added Koblenz Corrected. But yeah, I tought about c4 first without seeing the c5 possibility ... !
Sep 10, 2016 at 18:26 comment added Scounged Maybe you could switch up the move order, and play c4 first. That way Bd6 is impossible, due to c5. And one more note: it's never very interesting to know the "the best move for you". A move is either good, ok or bad, and that NEVER depends on the player. It ONLY depends on the current position on the board.
