Move 12
I think we should play 12 a4 -- their threat of Ba6 seems weak :smile:

What makes you think that? What about Nc4? It forces their queen back and allows Bg5. |

Yes, Nc4 is a good move. :smile:

I am thinking a4 myself (Nc4 comes in time):
12. a4 Ba6 13. Nb5 Rfc8 14. Nc4 Qd8 thus driving their queen back to her starting position. |

a4 frees the b4 square for their queen.

I don't believe that Qb4 is a viable move for black since it doesn't help their position:
12. a4 Qb4 13. Qc2 Ba6 14. Nb5 NB6 15. Ra3 and their queen is isolated and subject to attack. I doubt they will play Qb4 and I still like a4. |

Certainly, clogging up the b-file is useful to us, as is preventing the rooks attacking the a, b or c files -- remembering Black's fianchettoed dark square bishop; plus with a4 played we can lift our rook to a3 :smile:

On the other hand
12. Nc4 Qd8 13. f4 puts a lot of pressure on e5. However, with 24 hours to go I am inclined to back richs' line. :smile: |

Paul, I prefer a4. Your line ends up opening our king side which I think we can hold off on doing for now. I like my line in post #5 swatting their queen back.
