Position after 29... Rh4

Previous Next

A truly unusual function for a rook, though hard to refute. White does not want to exchange rooks with 30 Rb4. One strange idea here is 30 Kh2, looking to play g2-g3. Shaked is doing an admirable job of holding a difficult position. (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.)
