Hi,
This is a continued discussion from the old forums. The discussion is whether or not Empowered as Black can ever beat Reaper, or is it a dead game against a double-ghost midline blitz. We've already analyzed one line that turned out okay for Empowered. Now we're trying another one as suggested by Kristoph. What's interesting about that move is that it's just kind of a big concession for Empowered. Empowered and Classic both have those kinds of moves available where they do stuff that can be punished by the Reaper, but they're willing to do it because it's at least better for midline. The question then is 'is it actually okay for midline.' If yes, then okay, they live with the lost pawn or minor or whatever.
Thanks!
