Position after 40... Qa3+

Previous Next

Benjamin's idea is that after 41 Kc2 Qc3+ 42 Kd1 Qxd4+, 43 Qd2 Nc3+ wins for Black, so the king will have to keep walking. [Both players have now made the first time control.] (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.)
