Position after 23... Ng4

Previous Next

This is a little mystifying as after 24 Bd2, h2-h3 looms large. Black had other options such as 23 ... Ne8, routing to d6, or 23 ... Nh5, although that seems out of play as well. Benjamin probably has a forcing continuation in mind with his 23 ... Ng4. (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.)
