(1500-1600) Semi-Slav versus passive Black
Sort:
[COMMENT DELETED]
I'm pretty sure I'd play 11. e4 with the idea of an eventual e5 to chase the knight away from the king's protection, line up my Queen and light square bishop on the b1-h7 diagonal and you could also eventually play your queen knight out to e4 and even Re1-e3 and over to the f, g or h file. At some point you would be able to bring an enormous amount of firepower at black's king. Of course it's unlikely that he just lets you do that. He might play e5 himself, but white already controls that square. I would take white's position any day.
