| Black's position is satisfactory. The simplest is to capture 12 ... cxd4, because later pressure on d6 can always be resolved by the move ... d6-d5 - in these lines, Black will not have a pawn on c5 that the d6 pawn needs to defend. (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.) |   |
