Position after 10... h6

Previous Next

Shaked clearly wants to play the position without having to comit with ... c5-c4. 10 ... h6 is a preparation for kingside castling (not 10 ... O-O? 11 Bxh7+). A good waiting move here is 11 Rb1. (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.)
