| A good plan by Benjamin. The queen will retreat to d8 and the Black rooks will conduct the fight for queenside territory. This only works if White is not able to quickly get up to speed in the center with f2-f4 trying for e4-e5. Black will have to mount play with ... Ra8-b8 and ... b7-b5. (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.) |   |
