Black threatens 34...Q×h3+.

(91) Dus-Chotimirsky – Freiman

Queen’s Gambit Declined [D30]

1 d4 d5 2 Nf3 c5 3 e3 Nc6 4 c4 e6 5 a3 Nf6 6 d×c5 B×c5 7 b4 Bd6 8 Bb2 0-0 9 Nc3 d×c4 10 B×c4 a6 11 0-0 b5 12 Bd3 Bb7

This is the normal position of the so-called “Bindfaden” variation.

13 Ne4 N×e4 14 B×e4 f5 15 Bc2 Qe7 16 Qe2 e5 17 Bb3+ Kh8 18 Rfd1 Rad8 19 Rac1 e4

White threatened 20 Bd5. Black, therefore, must play to exchange the knight at c6, preparing, at the same time, the advance against White’s king.

20 Nd4 N×d4 21 B×d4 f4 22 Qh5

22 e×f4 B×f4 23 Bc5 (though 23 Be3 might well have been tried.) 23...Qg5 24 B×f8 B×c1 would be in Black’s favor, as White’s a-pawn is attacked.

22...Bc8

If 22...f3 23 Bb6 Rde8 24 Bc5 B×c5 25 b×c5, Black would play 25...Rf6, threatening 26...Rg6 or 26...Rh6. If 23 g3 Bc8 24 Bc5 B×c5 25 Q×c5 Qf6 (or 25...Q×c5, followed by 26...Bh3). In every one of these variations White’s position would be one of danger, as his king would be cut off and exposed to mating attacks.

23 Bb2
