Re: Curtains vs PoG
[ QUOTE ]
With Rc6 followed by Rc8 and a later Nb4, we dominate the c2 square. The bishop can't defend it and if he defends with Rc1 we still play...Rc2, if he exchanges RxR we also exchange RxRc2 and have a defended Rook on c2. He cannot take our second rook with his Q because the Knight defends it.

If this idea turns out to be dangerous to white, he will just counter Nd5 with Bd2. The d5 square is just a dead end for the knight when that happens, as it would be captured if it ever moves to b4.
He can even answer 19...Rc6 with 20.Bd2.
