For the past 5 days, I have been looking at it, and going away, only to come back to the same dilemma.
Black is well developed. He will probably not buy my pawns 'en prise' along the g- or f- files. At this moment, it feels like something got heavier at one end... when he pushes his a-pawn forward. It had begun. The arrow is nocked, and the bow is drawn.My opponent is a sharp tactician from Latvia, the hometown of the legendary Magician of Riga. Someone who prefers tactical combinations is usually very keen on attacking and has an eye for opportunities.
I see three routes ahead. The first is to defend, and prepare myself to brace the impending attacks. The second is to attack relentlessly, even recklessly and hope to break through to the far northeast. Which is a bleak-looking and far hope to fetch. The last is an elaborate plan. Do I have a plan? Yes. I'm down on material and even the game looks bad for me now, so I guess I'll either have to try winning or lose trying.
