CONVERTING
AN ADVANTAGE

Not a good move, but waiting passively

Black correctly fights for space on the queenside
light squares.

White must maintain the structure as it is.
The premature 2 c5?! lllc:8 3 llld2 0ie7 4 llle4
llld5 plays into Black's hands.

Such a move should always be considered
very carefully, since Black now gains possession
of the central support-point d5. The flexible
6 Jl.f4 @b7 7 llld7 came strongly into
consideration.

Admittedly this increases the operational
range of the bishop, but at the same time it is
very committal.

14 ... @c8?
After this White penetrates decisively. Black
should keep his rooks connected: 14 ... ~h8 I 5
md3 ~af8 16 ~d7+ @b8 (Lukacs) and it is not
clear how White can make progress.
