There's nothing black can really do to counter this move, the bishop on b6, only stalls the advantage, though a novice white may miss the queen fork. I suppose the most that can be done is for black to take the bishop in exchange for the queen W Bishop C5

This pins the black queen to protect the queen, under threat of protected bishop

B Bishop B6

This pins the white bishop to protect the king, thus stopping the ability of the bishop to take the queen

W Queen F4

This forks the king and pinned queen with a check, forcing the king to move, and nullifying the pin counter, enabling white to have a crucial queen advantage.

There’s nothing black can really do to counter this move, the bishop on b6, only stalls the advantage, though a novice white may miss the queen fork.

Let me ask a few questions, though: Loonies and Sense & Ilya, after Bishop to c5, what would be your response if Black played its Bishop to b6? Kris, in response to Queen to c8, what would be your response if Black played its King to f7 instead of Queen to d8? These are all good thoughts on the position. Let me ask a few questions, though:

Loonies and Sense & Ilya, after Bishop to c5, what would be your response if Black played its Bishop to b6?

Kris, in response to Queen to c8, what would be your response if Black played its King to f7 instead of Queen to d8?

Bishop to C5 Bishop to C7 Bishop takes Queen Bishop takes Bishop King to F1 At this point, White has its Queen, while White King is safe from Black Bishop. Is that a winning advantage? Let’s take a stab at this…

Bishop to C5
Bishop to C7
Bishop takes Queen
Bishop takes Bishop
King to F1

At this point, White has its Queen, while White King is safe from Black Bishop.

Is that a winning advantage?
