Allows white's queen to move to other areas, while keeping black's queen trapped, however, O-O is better. |

Black must account for his trapped queen by threatening the white queen if white attempts Bb2. |
|
| |
|
|

This move caught me off guard. I had expected white to move Bb2, but instead he threatens my rook and knight. This also allows black to save his queen. |
