Okay everyone, any ideas?? I was thinking maybe the move for Black being b6.A simple move, but entraps the queen more in the corner and limits her to only 4 squares of which she can move. With the help of black's bishop on c8 and his knight on e3, maybe the white queen can be cornered and trapped.
What do you all think? Any input or other suggestions are more than welcome. Chris----- Original Message ----- From: "Roderick Macdonald" <rmacd@xxxxxxxx>

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.
