Rxb4 also, IYO....can we see JUST ONE LINE you based >this opinion on. I second that. *Presumably* then 23. ...dxe3 is essential (after ...Qc7, 24. Rb3 looks good), then 24. fxe3 and now Black must keep the initiative, but how? 24. ...b5 25. Rxb5 Rxb5 26. cxb5 Qb6 27. Qc1 looks good for White, while if 24. ...Re7 then White can proceed 'quietly' with eg. 25. b3 (or even push the issue with 25. Qa7 and Qd4, but slowly applied pressure might be better). Anyway, White has more choice in determining the direction of the game (ie 'initiative'!). Am I wrong? Francis
