21. Rh4 |
Now its white's turn to attack and drive back the intruders. | ||||

21... Qxf3+ |
The exchange is forced, any other queen move would lose black material. | ||||

22. Qxf3 Bxf3+ 23. Kxf3 c6 |
The unlucky bishop is trapped as a4 is unavailable - black gains a minor piece while White's dark square bishop is tied up protecting a pawn. As soon as Black captures the bishop he will gain a file on which to place his linked rooks. After that the fragmented pawn structure on White's Queen side will be targetted and White has little chance of gaining access to Black's heavily fortified royalty. | ||||
