There is nothing unfixable here, and the space advantage >is worth it I think. Christophe, here is a possible continuation that proves that black have (could) comfortable game. 13. ... Be7 14.Ne2 (?!) 0-0 15. Bd3 Rfc8 16. Rc1 Be8 17. Nc5 Na5 = or there abouts. White have more space but they are not coordinated enough, yet, to support it all. Black can choose multitude of ways to counter. However black can not be passive and they should jab on the queen side with uppercut in the center. One of the white bishops is cut-off the queen side and the night on b3 should be moved as soon as possible. regards. hristo > > > > Christophe
