Nov-23-07 R Bogdanovic vs Suetin, 1967
| |
| loftus: <natronic> I didn't see anyone else comment on this line yet, but after 23...e5 the black Queen is protecting her knight and the black King has a flight square. White could still try 24. Qb8+ but she'd better be persistent, since that move weakens White's back rank and sets up ... |
