And then what?
Wright-Johnston 2010 In Polly Wright's blog Castling Queenside, she reviews a game she played in the 2010 New York State Championship. In this position she writes: I can simply play 25. Qd2! I didn't play it because I was concerned about a discovered attack that's not there. The bishop is pinned. If he plays 25...Qd7, I have 26. Rd1.  This intensifies the pin on the bishop. But what does White do after 26...Bb5, breaking the pin and defending the queen?  White wins with 27.Qc2!  This move packs a lot of power. It uncovers an attack on the black queen and threatens a double attack on the king and knight with 28.e5+. Black has no defense, and must lose a piece. |
