Priyanka is hypnotizing me with the way her pieces are swinging back and forth across the board. I am finding it hard to understand what her plan is and why she is not advancing the a pawn (not immediately, obviously, but I think I would have played Rb6 and then advanced the pawn). I guess that is the difference between a strong county player like myself and a Master. |

Maybe she is doing what I suggested a few moves back - protect the rook and then advance the pawn. |

Not sure why this rook move was played. |
