18...Qc8 And the game takes an unexpected turn with a queen trade! Black is looking to forward to gobbling up white's e pawn someday, and that day may be soon! ..White, however, will be glad to exchange the queens as his King will be safer on the open c-line. The reoccurring theme of this position is the useless bishop on f3. Will Joel ever activate his white squared bishop, or will he simply exchange it on e4 if black captures the pawn?
