| The big question is what happens on 15 ... Na5 here. Maybe White can just snap 16 Qxd6 Nc4 17 Qb4 a5 18 Qb3, although White would be putting the queen in a very weird position. And 16 Bd4 Nc4 17 Qc1 e5 is fine for Black. A better idea against 15 ... Na5 is 16 Qe2, meeting 16 ... Nc4 with 17 b3. Possibly 15 ... Rd8 is a better move than 15 ... Na5. (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.) |   |
