A reorganizing move which gains time by attacking the queen. Here I am
forced to retract my earlier comparison between deFirmian's 24 Be1 and the
alternative 24 Rc1. 24 Be1 was brilliant because it drew forward the Black
queen to a4 (as 24 ... Rc6 25 Rb1 would control the b-file, while after 24 Rc1
instead, Black would have 24 ... Rc6 followed by 25 ... Rb8) just so the queen
could now be pushed back through this offer to exchange.
