| A highly original idea from Gurevich. Although the knight does very little on a4 (other than stop Black's queen from going to b6), White has the positional threat of 9 Nh4 (sending the other knight to the rim) which would earn the two bishops in a favorable manner as the f5 bishop suddenly has the duty to protect the knight on e4. (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.) |   |
