Mel, the move a4 in this position seems to me to be a good move. White needs
counter play on the queenside to drive blacks queen off her post at b6, which
controls the a7-g1 diagonal and also attacks whites b2 pawn tying down whites
bishop to the defense of this pawn and keeping it from developing, and also
keeps white from playing o-o. I would grade the move a4 as a good and logical
move in this position, unless you can show a refutation to this move. I did not
see one.
