| Jun-12-09 | | vonKrolock: <21... f5>! Simply the best - to complete development, exchange some material (regardless of the hole in 'e6', that can be futurelly controlled by , say, a ), and (not least) to face the threat of xd6...<24... h8!> In this context, the cornering move is more a clearing and counter-strike (threat g8) than a purelly defensive measure <25. e6> If 25. e4, not g8, but simply xe4 followed by xg4 etc position after <26. g5>  click for larger view <26... f6!> Against this, there's almost nothing to do... <27. h4> A last quirk - if now xe6, then g4-g5! and white can hope to escape with an exchange plus, but... <27...g6-g5>! ow if h5 then g6 with idea of f6 <28. xg5> The rest is silence |
