I wanted to say that if White moves N-g1?, then Black responds with Q-c2 to keep
White's a-pawn from advancing, and then Black will begin advancing his-
c-pawn very fast, but if White responds by moving K-R2, then Black's Queen must
proceed with a "check" on f4 to hold a draw!

Any comments are appreciated,
Regards,Terry
