if we look at the position 1st we see that |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
white has castled; black has not |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
black's Queenside pieces are not developed |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
while white's pieces are almost fully developed |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
black could capture the b-pawn; black has little |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to fear from Rb, which perhaps would be something |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to
worry about if a) his B on c8 were developed and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) the c3 knight were not threatened (after the
b2 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pawn is taken |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
what is also interesting is that white's e-pawn |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is also weak, and the Bishop on g7 is on a very |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strong diagonal, in fact if the N on f6 were
not there |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
then black would be threatening the d4 Knight |
