It's been a while since my last post. But here we are at a point where the Black queen has invaded my space and the C pawn is hanging. Or is it really? Sometimes, the most innocent-looking captures can lead to big time trouble fast. After 24...Qc2 25. Bd3 and Black is in trouble. Can the queen make it out? Just barely, but it will cost him dearly. Black played 25...Qb2 26. Rab1 and the queen is trapped. Fortunately for Black, there is a counter attack in 26...b6 and this move will let his queen get out through the a3 square. So, after 27. Qc6 Qa3, the black queen escaped but black lost a piece and ultimately the game as well.
