Aug-01-07   russep: How is this winning for black?

  WannaBe: <russep> The knight on h4 is guarded by the queen, but under attack by bishop on e7, therefore, black pressures the queen.

Look at what 'good' square white's queen can go to (b4, c4, d4, f4, g4) are all out, if white wants to continue protecting the knight, e4 is the only square.

Then black will respond with f5 to pressure the queen again, develope another pawn, all the while white's queen is being chased, plus dropping the knight.

If white queen goes off the 4th rank, knight is taken for free.
