      White can just take the knight and then take the bishop afterward with the pawn since it is pinned to the queen

    15:45 Nainpower B4. Best move in my opinion. Forces Black to lose Queen or give White a larger advantage.

    You thought you and Ludwig were on the same page about olives until he hit you with 'Black olives in a salad. It's great!'
