If we do not want to trade Queens we have to prevent Qf4+.

Black can still force a queen trade if they wish with 15.Kb1 Qf4 16.Ng5 Qh4 17.Qxh4 Nxh4. I prefer this for us over 15.Rdg1 Qf4+ 16.Qxf4 Nxf4 because in the Rdg1 line blacks knight ends up on a much better square.

Thank you Boolberry for starting this thread and encouraging cooperation not competition among our overlapping communities.
Some people may wonder why I frequently Tweet support for Aeon and Boolberry (helping them request Shapeshift listings, etc). I do not think of them as competitors but as fellow CryptoNote innovators with overlapping communities. The developers of each coin has benefited (either by adopting or deciding to avoid or modify) an innovation of another. 5 years from now if CryptoNote with RingCT is an industry leading standard Monero will surely have achieved great success. Aeon and Boolberry have no chance to cause Monero to fail (if we fail it will be for other reasons) but they can help us test innovative new CryptoNote ideas and build economies of scale for CryptoNote trading and merchant adoption.
Just today Boolberry forwarded me a valuable merchant lead (because Monero has a larger community and may provide more potential customers to this merchant). The work smooth is doing for Aeon will help future Monero development. Lets continue helping each other to advance CryptoNote to ensure it stays ahead of the competition!
p.s. I still want to win this chess game and think Monero is off to a great start!

Sorry @ boolberry, posted just a few minutes before our deadline as the move seem to be set. I was just excited to see @ letsplayagame sport an XMR address in his signature  |

Nxe2 is hardly a threat. I'd like to open up that file regardless of what captures our f pawn. I'm still working on some lines.

I think that Ng5 is the way to exchange Queens (something that we are trying to avoid, right?). If 16.Ng5, then 16. ... Qh8, forcing the Queen's exchange.

You are right GoldTiger69 I want to prevent trading Queens as well. Now that I looked more into the variations I see that we can do that and be in a good position. The lines I looked at are for: Bf1, Nd2, Ne1 and Ng1.

Tbh with you guys, I think that the Queens exchange after 16.Ng5 Qh8, 17.QxQ KxQ 18.Bg4 looks very promising to white, don't you think?
So, I'm going to change my vote (If that is not allowed, just ignore me, I'm still learning the rules of this topic)
