Position after 12. Bf4

Previous Next

An interesting deflection. The other try, 12 e5, would probably be met by 12 ... Qd5 keeping lines closed, as 12 ... Qxe5 just invites more hits with 13 Re1. (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.)
