| White can construct a system of defense by placing his king on a1 and at the right moment playing c3-c4, allowing this to be captured by Black's b-pawn, and then playing his own remaining c-pawn from c2 to c3. Then White would have to monitor the pressure on the new c3 pawn (e.g., from a Black knight on d5 or the Black queen on a5). (Have a question? Ask GM Rohde! Not all questions can be answered, but the Grandmaster will pick selected topics to cover live from e-mail received.) |   |
