⚫️#228 (Strategy-Black to Move)
πŸ”ΈQuinteros
πŸ”ΈAlburt
πŸ”ΈNew York, 1983
πŸ“• 1...Qa3!
Black's pieces are more active than White's. Weak white pawns on the queenside can be objects of Black's attack. Note the passive position of White's queen on f1, which brings disharmony into the position.
1...d4? 2.Nxd4 Black simply loses a pawn without any compensation.
1...a5?! This move permanently weakens the b5-square.
