Oct-16-21  Ulhumbrus: After 8 Qb3 Black will be able to attack the white queen by ...Nc5 following the capture ...cxd4. Then the white queen is going to lose a lot of time moving from one square to another and that may enable Black to appropriate White's opening advantage. One alternative is 8 Qc2.
Sep-18-23  Saniyat24: Precision pressing by Sevian...! The black Queen being on b6 and Sevian's centralized position nullified the effect of the fianchettoed white bishops, black always had more targets to attack...a wonderful game of chess...!
