Parham has completely exploited the last opponent's move that weakened b6-pawn.

📕1.Qh3!
White's pieces are aimed at attacking Black's king, and a transfer of the queen to the kingside makes their attack very dangerous. Black should reduce White's attack potential by exchanging pieces.

1.Re3 Nc6 probably Black is fine.
