Feb-24-11  luzhin: 20...Nd3+!! brilliantly exploits White's failure to castle. After 21.exd3 Qxd3 she is peculiarly helpless ( if 22.Qb4 Rc8 and it just gets worse).
Mar-13-11  ReikiMaster: Yes, 17.0-0 looks ok.

  GrahamClayton: Stefanova didn't have much success with early b-pawn moves in the opening during the Qatar Grand Prix:

A Stefanova vs N Dzagnidze, 2011

Apr-13-13  French Chesslover: <ReikiMaster: Yes, 17.0-0 looks ok.>

On 18.Naxb4, blacks get an extra passed pawn, wich is sufficient for Zhu Chen to easily win. So 17.b5 is understandable to eliminate the last weakness on te queen side.

After the stunning 20...Nd3+, the best contiuation for white is 21.exd3 Qxd3 22. Ne3 Qc3+ 23. Ke2 Qxa3 with an extra pawn an uncasteled king.
