McGaugh vs Thurber, Southern NV Qualifer, 13 Aug 09

I'm "jumping" all over Mike Thurber in this game. The fat lady is beginning to sing and it will soon be all over.

As you can see, I haven't castled. Castling was not necessary in this game. Sometimes its better to get on with the attack than to waste a move on castling. My king is very safe. Even though Black has doubled his rooks on the c-file, they do not have an entry point into my position.

For some reason Mike was never the same player again after this game.

It's White's move. What is the best move?



cheers

Paul
