Go up one level in this thread


12 ... hg5 is a known bad line.  The better move is 12 ... Rd8.  Taking the
bishop here leads to a vicious attack.  If this is in the book then it's clearly
not a book intended for competitive play.  It may make for interesting games
with humans, but it'll lose a lot against strong computers or humans.
