| 14.Bd2 has all the signs of an opening battle lost. This passive move guarantees black will have a comfortable game. Joel looks intent on queenside castling and perhaps a quick attack on the kingside, but his passive pieces will be of little use. (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.) |   |
