The issue was whether Black could get enough activity when finally doing so. The Bishop on h5 is a rather sorry sight. The plan of ….. f4 to exploit e3 square (entry point) with a simple …..

27… Re2 was brilliant 🙂
Thanks john. Nice game and instructive. Many club players prefer easy explanation rather than reams of heavy analysis. Good win for the team and keeps you well in the mix.
