Good to see the discussion has again begun. Most of the suggestions (he says pushing his chest out boasting :) ) were probably mine. Each has some merit but my favourite is the extra extended knight 3-1L move. As DK says, black can play such that all pieces protect each other, but what it does do is allow white to treaten the black King without interference from a string of pawns. Without playing the game I am not sure if this sufficient force to prise open a black defence but think it is really worth a try.

And on another matter, I would like to join the queue to play black against Uil's white Maharajah :)
