Black counters the threatened pawn with a fletchetted bishop. |

The a3 move white made is a bit weak, but putting the knight on the sideline is weaker yet. |

The e4 pawn remans ripe for plucking. |

This is why that knight move is weak, black’s rook pawns are doubled. |

Why not Bxg2 instead? This would mess up white’s king side castle. I know they call that the poison pawn, but Rg8 traps black’s f pawn. |

The old school’s mate. Black is going to lose a pawn. |
