@daugarten after Qg5-g2, white would play rook h1-g1.

blacks queen is under attack and cannot capture the rook, and not even the knight: (...Qe4xf3; Bc3xg7+, Kf8-c7; Qb3xf3)

The black queen can only move to h3 and white can play Bc3xg7+ to win the pawn back and fork the king and the rook.

Is there a reason that the Queen didnt take on g2 when white developed his King's Knight? Gains a pawn, stops the castling, threatens the Knight and the Rook... what goes wrong in this variation?

@daugarten That's pretty much a loss of queen in few moves, figure that one out

Nf6 counter attacking is far superior to d6. After d6 although technically equal, I would much prefer to play as white.

ohh i get the picture he would loose his queen . . . . . . . .that is after the black queen takes the knight white can simply take the pawn on g7 with his bishop on e3 checking the king backed up by his rook on g1 and black will loose his queen to whites queen :)

[dearestofeminem]

plz explain briefly as i am not Good with Notations :)

[dearestofeminem]

why cant the black queen move to G2 instead of G4, capturing the pawn and forking the Rook and the knight and also blocking the castle at the same time ?

[solosaroman]

after bishop on f7,queen should take on g2 attacking the rook.if the white play bishop on h5 prepering to mat,black play pawn on g6,then bishop takes rook,queen takes rook and atacking the knight witch is trap on g1,
