Qd2 {Violating the basic rules of development, White sets up a reversed battery with the Queen as the foremost piece. However, you will soon get used to this way of blocking the Bishop's diagonal. 14.Bh6 would have been the automatic move, developing with tempo. Yet Navara, having opted for a straightforward opening set-up, consistently continues with the caveman approach. Concrete calculations do the talking here.} Nxe5 {And with immediate success ! The point is that after 14...Bxf3 15.Qh6! White's attacking potential turns out to be sufficient for a deadly attack. 14...Re8 runs into 15.hxg6 fxg6 16.Qh6 Nf8 17.Bxg6! the radical 14...g5 seems to be the only viable alternative, though White's position remains better, for example after 15.Bc2 , preparing the more traditional battery with Qd3.} 15.

Bf1 {You might reason that the calculating engines of today inspire us to find and play these concrete moves, and that formerly we could easily miss such moves, just because they did not seem 'natural' enough. This might well be true in general, but the following example dates from the 1970s, and here the Queen found her way to the Kingside in exactly the same manner.} *
