It looks like Black has serious threats. How will you deal with this?
We don't always need a Queen, do we? How can Black take advantage of this?

A very important topic is the question of Stability. Having the pieces on stable squares, that is, squares where they are well defended, is essential to have a solid position. How can White take advantage of the instability of Black's position?
Today I'm going to tell you a curious story. In 1883, there was a tournament called "DSB Kongress-03 Meisterturnier", a very strong tournament at the end of the 19th century. In round 5, two players faced each other: Max Weiss and Jacques Schwarz. The curious fact is that Weiss in German means White, and Schwarz means Black. And this was the game: We at ChessLance wish everyone a good end to the year and a prosperous 2024!
It seems that White's position is hopeless. How did he change it?
