One possible move for us now is B8 to C6. Which makes the knight protect the pawn we put out there while threatening the white one. However, if the white pawn takes the black the white queen has an open lane and the only thing we would gain is the white pawn...<br/><br/>The other move that comes to mind most readily when I lookit the board is D7 to D6, which also protects the black pawn. it does not threaten the white, but then if they take our pawn that's already up there we can take theirs and -both- our queens have open lanes, which might lead to an early queen trade.<br/><br/><br/>There's lots of other moves available, but those two come to mind first to me.
