LOL.

Black is getting mated next move. Are you on drugs?

Sorry mistake I ment Qf5

Thanks for catching that for me. This line is one reason I like b4 or Nb3 hitting the c5 bishop.

Here, like the QGD, white is playing against black's inactive c8 bishop. That's why I play the b6 Ba6 lines.

Could you show me the line you play?>>>

Sure but not just now because I'm incredibly busy, or should be. Just got back home last night.

So would it be fair to say that if black plays Nd7, whites Re1 is better?

what about blacks Be7, is Qe2 better?

I saw once where the Q went to e2 and later threatened Qe4.  This created a double threat of Qxh7 and Qxa8. So that chalks one up for Qe2.  Plus, if white switches to stonewall isn't the rook better at f1?

I guess what I don't like about Qe2 is it wastes a move in the Bxh7 combination.
