Nov-14-04		ajile: I din't understand 23.Qc1. Why is white retreating? Why not 23.gXh opening up the G file before the black bishop can defend from e4?

Nov-14-04		Appaz: I wonder about this move too. It could be that after 23.gxh Qb5+ 24.Kc1 Qe5 then g7 i covered, and black has enough compensation for the exchange because of white's rotten pawn structure. I have a feeling I'm missing something obvious here.
