Position 1

White has completed development and has a menacing looking pair of bishops. Black needs one more tempo to bring Ra8 into play and then …Ne6 and …c5 may follow with black having a satisfactory position. What do you recommend for white?
  • 18.a3(to follow up with b4 to restrain …c5 and keep Bb7 passive)
  • 18.Bf5(to clear the e-file and challenge the coming …Ne6)
  • Something else

White to Play
