Position after 19... Bxe1

A good move by Christiansen. I think in this formation, White should have captured on b4, so as to draw the a-pawn onto the b-file and close it. With White concentrating on the center, he will not want to deal with queenside nuisances. (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.)
