21st Fajr Open Mashhad IRI (6.1), 23.02.2013
Position 1
13..Rfe8 keeps the maximum number of pieces on the board for a tense middlegame confrontation. What do you suggest for white?
- 14.Kh1(a typical precaution)
- 14.Bd3(reinforcing the center and preparing for a central pawn break
- 14.f5(playing for the f-file)
- 14.e4(playing for the center or f-file)
- Something else
White to Play
13...Rfe8
