[QUOTE=science_man_88;336486]they did Kg[B][COLOR=Red]2[/COLOR][/B] what can we do back.[/QUOTE]

You know my answer: [B]exf4[/B].

Their move still keeps exf4 in the books for a while, despite the fact that it is a bit too late now, we lost a tempo with that b5, they are already with the king out of link, and can concentrate better in counterattack (they have the "sente" now, as a Go player would say).

In fact they force it "a bit" now, due they took the king out of the link, stating clear, "[I]see? we want to take your pawn in e5![/I]". Fortunately for us, they CANNOT take the pawn in e5 right now (assuming we move something else), because then we beat it with the bishop, we bring that bishop in the center, forming a "great wall" with the one behind, and the f column is open to our rook, therefore his king will be insulated on the side, an [B]excellent[/B] position for us. Also, they can't exactly push to f5. If they push, for example 25...Rd6, 26.f5,gxf5, now they are in deep sh!t because no place to move the bishop and moreover, those two pawns sustain each other till transformation, or he has to give big wood for them.

Those being said, we are not really forced to capture the pawn. We can think about something else too (like Rd6 in the example above, which forbids the white bishop to attack the pawns from the back in c6. Some other "good" continuation may be 25...Rf7 or a6. Also, Bg4 or Bf5 will force a draw (they have eternal check after exchange, in f5, or after we exchange the horse in e2, and if they don't exercise it, then we either transform or check them mate, so they will have to go for eternal check in this situation).
