Quantum Quietus

Recently I had a game against a player online. Yes I have been in exile for a few months. Away from the board, is probably a nice way of putting it.

In this particular situation, I had just exchanged my d6 bishop with Black's b8 bishop. The Black bishop took b8.

Initially it seemed imperative to move my queen away, probably to a6 where it can watch over the b7 pawn as well as taking an aim on e6 pawn.

But then an idea stuck me. Some force around the b7 area caught my attention... some kind of glow or magnetic force... is this what they call intuition... and thoughts flow naturally into the prospect of actually not moving my queen away from danger.

I probably should have seen this a few moves back, but there probably was the blindspot caused by the protective caution against threats towards the queen.
