Sep-23-12		sneaky pete: 11... Qc1 is the only move.

May-19-13		Hesam7: <sneaky pete: 11... Qc1 is the only move.> And this is based on Black scoring a win with 11...Qb1!? White's mistake was 15 Kg3? which lost the h8-Bishop but even after 15 Bg7 Nd7 16 Kg3 Rc8 click for larger view The position remains very sharp. For example 17 Bh6? loses to 17...Nc5! 18 Qd4 (the Queen has very few squares: 18 Qd1? Ne4 and 18 Qb5 Bd7 19 Qb4 a5 20 Qh4 Qb1 is similar) 18...Qb1 19 Be2 Ne4 20 Kf3 Rd8! The safest move from the diagram appears to be 17 c6 with 17...Rc6 18 Qd4 Rc5 click for larger view Here the only thing I am sure of is that Black is not any worse: two Pawns for the Bishop with a huge lead in development and a safer King.
