Position after 11. Be1

Gurevich tucks the bishop away at e1. I am not convinced by this, as there is no mechanism to force Black to release the queenside tension, and meanwhile, White's development will suffer. Dzindzi has drawn with deFirmian. Thus, deFirmian has won Group A with 5 points, and Dzindzi has finished with 4. Gurevich and Kudrin each can tie with Dzindzi by drawing, or pass him by winning. Seirawan, if he wins, can score 4. (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.)
