Originally posted by Kevin McfarlandI would have played 12. Qd5 c6 13. Be3 then either ...Kc7 14. Qa5...(If b6 is played black loses a rook and a pawn for a bishop and if Kd7 black loses another pawn, trades queens and white squared bishops, and gives you a pretty unstoppable kingside pawn march) or c5 which I think quickly ends in disaster for black with correct play.

I've checked none of these lines over with a computer, so feel free to take this analysis with a grain of salt (or maybe check to see what it would play here), however I think 12. Qd5 was a better move.
Originally posted by Ramiri1512 Q d5 had an easy answer though, C6 with the pawn, that stops the mate threat and forces the queen out of its nice perch and gives the black king a hidey hole at c7.

Originally posted by sonhouseThat's why I said follow up c6 with Be3. If Kc7 then Qa5. From there the line would be:
12 Q d5 had an easy answer though, C6 with the pawn, that stops the mate threat and forces the queen out of its nice perch and gives the black king a hidey hole at c7.
14....Kd7
15. Be6 Ke8
16. Qxd8 Kxd8
17. Bxg5 Kc7
From there white has a couple options, maybe Bxc8 or Bxg8. I don't think it's possible to stop white's pawn push though. He now has three passed pawns and the ability to connect them.
