This actually wasn't played in the game, but it could've been. Black's pieces are scattered across the board, while White's occupy some pretty good squares. How can he take advantage of this?
Nice puzzle tonydal, I find it hard but now I understand the reason for c4 (opening the b-file) I thought of Ng5 first so the queen can to g8+ very good, thank you.
c5 is juicy as all get out.
Tonydal, I can't see why blacks responses are forced, could you please explain?
Its true, bxc5 is not forced, but you lose a pawn if you don't take. Nxb5 is not forced either, but then you lose a knight after Qe7... etc.
