I'm going to vote for Qc2. Not only does this protect the Queen, but I think it's better placed, afterwards.

After Qc2 was played
This is a message from alex_ratchkov: White is in serious trouble here. Instead of 11.Qc2, perhaps a stronger try might have been 11.Qd1...

He played pxd4

move 12 our turn


So it's our turn...
any suggestions?
Do you see our best move? Looking at the diagram Our Q is protecting 3 pieces, She can be sacrificed if moved on all the forward diagonal white squares. We have a well placed Ne5.
Our Nc3 is being attacked by d4 pawn. We need to see if moving the N is best, or leaving it in place? Use the board and see if you think we should retreat or sac it. Leave it in place and castle? If so what side? Don't forget our Ne5 it can retreat too.

I think we play b3.

I concur with Sue as this appears to win the B. And, that's due to black's Bc4 being, as I call it, locked in.

My vote would be to castle, at this point. But, as usual, I'm very interested in ION's input.

I'll vote Ne4 it's better than leaving N where it is
redfoxrising
20-May-16, 19:05

put on think cap
spread out in plans some what, no worries, take your time my plan is just my idea,
we have a couple d3's
wait for Ion's input
Ne4
any other suggestions I don't think that leaving the N where it is now should happen.

ongoing game chat
alex_ratchkov: (40 days ago) (game postponement) Trip to Seattle
me: (39 days ago) ok have a nice trip
alex_ratchkov: (36 days ago) I think that 8.Qa4 was a mistake...better was 8.Bg2 or 8.a3
alex_ratchkov: (24 days ago) The question for me now was which of the two candidate moves to choose: 9...Nc6 or 9...d5. I am going with 9...d5 since then my queen's knight might have more flexibility if it eventually goes on d7
alex_ratchkov: (17 days ago) White is in serious trouble here. Instead of 11.Qc2, perhaps a stronger try might have been 11.Qd1...
me: (5 days ago) it's been a while, and I am about ready to go with another move.
me: nice of GK to add more time (over the week-end). I have asked for suggestion for this club game and have to see if anyone is participating.
alex_ratchkov: Black is slowly grinding White down in this game. With a better position and a clear material advantage, it is only a matter of time now...
