What Would You Do? {embedded, game}
In this game position, it is white's turn. What do you think the best move for white is? Who is winning?
 
Note: This is not a full game. I didn't record the whole thing.
I was playing my dad, but he is a bit of a lazy player, and didn't notice my super obvious plan for checkmate.

IMHO ... BLACK IS BETTER, BUT 1.BF1 .. QC2, 2. RC1 IS A TRY...

blac is up pawns but white can play Qxc3 making white down 2 pawns, but white has much more space than black.
 
in my opinion, if white does not take the pawn now, it can become a real hairball later on when black develops

Unless I can't count anymore-white is down a piece and several pawns.I think Whites best move is therefore resign

not to burts your bubble, darx, but white's first could be Bg2 ending the threat that ended up mating him.
 
of course, black has more material but is lacking in development. still, black has a winning edge, as far as I can see.
