| This move seems to allow Black an easy draw with 44 ... Nxe4 45 Qxe4 Qh1+ (also possible is 45 ... Qf1+ 46 Qg2 Qxg2+) 46 Qxh1 Rxh1+ 47 Kg2 Ra1. In contrast, 44 Rd2 looked good for White after 44 ... Qb6 (also 44 ... Qh2+ is possible but probably losing) 45 c5. (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.) |   |
