📘16...Qh7!
This is the idea: putting the black queen on h7 adds vital steel to the restraint of g2-g4. If the white king stepped into a time warp and remerged on b2, Black's queen maneuver would be ridiculous: the straightforward Rg1 and g2-g4 would break the blockade of the g4-square when Black would face a fearsome attack on his king. But unfortunately for White, his king is on h2, which gives him more than a pause for thought when it comes to advancing g2-g4.

There was no choice as 27 Rc8 had to be prevented. Still, White's attempt at infiltration to the seventh or eighth rank has failed. Sadvakasov has now more or less run out of constructive ideas and resorts to short-range threats – which still, however, have to be handled with great care.
