I don't think white's position is particularly horrible here. Either Qd3 or Qf3 defends against the bishop's threat on f2. It doesn't look instantly lost at all, and to my eye looks reasonably equal overall. > >This is the position against Diep before 19...h5 > >[D]4kb1r/1r1b1p1p/1q1pp3/p3P3/1p1N4/3BQ3/PPP3PP/2KRR3 b k - 0 1 > >Black has tactical problems > >For example 19...Bg7 20.Qg5 Be5 21.Rxe5 dxe5 22.Qxe5 Rf8 23.Nf5 f6 24.Qe4 Kd8 >25.Nd6 Rc7 26.Bb5 This probably is lost, I agree. I don't believe black can play 20 Bxe5 and survive. And castling drops a pawn. So it looks ugly to my (human) eye. > >24...Ra7 25.Bb5 Kf7 is probably better for black but white has a clear >advantage. > > >Uri
