Well, we can't be rushed for time with a pre-set timetable
Personally, I don't feel like skipping ahead and I'd be against it. Then again, the majority rules.

In deference to Perseus, I'm cool with being patient.
Besides there is still time for others to voice their vote.
And MAJOR respect to Fromper for "Bucking the trend", and voting his heartfelt choice.....

- I'd rather not continuously change this game's parameters around like FIDE does for the world championship candidates.. |
The rule that I came up with at RHP for this kind of thing is if a move gets 75% of the first 20 votes, then it passes. That makes the magic number over there 15 for the first 20 votes cast.
As for this move, I think I'll go with the majority and Nxe4. I don't see anything in the way of a tactical or strategic importance, so material it is.
My vote: Nxe4

And, I, too, must admit.... In my heart - I truly wanted to play f3, because of my adventurous spirit, but I decided upon Nxe4 because I saw that move (Nxe4) as a better continuation ---, and PLUS I didn't like the c5 continuation in responce to Fromper's f3 move, even though it offered the open F-file which emotionally, I liked and Preferred, with certain exceptions.

I checked-out that Possum that you played. I was quite impressed Arrogant One, although your opponent made some mistakes in that game, I can't remember any mistake on your side.....
