📕14.Bb5!
A strong move. White develops his bishop and creates the threat of 15.Rxc6!

📕23...Ra4!
An excellent move, activating the rook and forcing white to address the issue of his king.
23...Bd6 and even 23...exf4 would be met by 24.0-0-0!

John Quincy Adams was the 6th President of the US & avid chess player. He may have lost the Presidency because of chess. Jackson supporters charged that Adams used public funds to buy an expensive ivory chess set for him. Adams had paid for the chess set with his own money.
