g'morning,

Below I am posting a position that actually occurred in a USBCA tournament game I played last year. I suggest you take a look at the diagram and determine which side has the better position. After you have analyzed the position, decide what is Black's best move to either improve his position or take a strong advantage, depending on which side has the better position. I will post later today with the answer. Note that White's main threat in this diagram is against the pawn at b7 - if black moves his Bishop at c8. Note also that there is no threat from either side for immediate checkmate, at least not without a big blunder.

Diagram:
r1br2k1/
pp2qpp1/
7p/
2p1P3/
2P2P2/
PQP1nN2/
4P1BP/
RR4K1
Position after 21. Rfb1
