Position after 17. Qxa4

Previous Next

17 Rxc7 leads to temporary equality of material, but White would just have to give up the c-file after 17 ... Bxb3 18 Rxc8+ Rxc8 19 axb3 and Black would be doing quite well. (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.)
