18.Qd4 Rc2
19.Qxa7 possibly we pause here to see what's possible?
Any value in 19... b6 cutting the queen off from d4? It may appear to be a wasted move but how can white punish it?

[/ QUOTE ]

20.Qa4 is an idea that comes into play in a few lines. It attacks our rook on e8, so our queen and knight can't both get too frisky too soon.

On the idea of... 18. Qd3 Ne4 19. Bb2 possibly Qg5 is a playable move? Seems sort of fishy but may want to connect the rooks right?

[/ QUOTE ]

This seems ok, and we also have ideas (not necessarily on the 19th move) of Nc5 Qd4 Ne6, with or without Qg5. Or h7-h5-h4 with the Qg5. Or Qf5 threatening Nxg3.

The same Qg5 could be used after 18.Qd4 Rc2 19.Qxa7 Ne4 20.Qd4. If 21.Bb2 Rd2 22.Qa4 (after our rook again). Then we move the rook and are ready for Qf5 and other threats.
