We have come to a critical moment in the game:



Very exciting stuff!

    Qg5 is interesting, but white has to look out for the response ...Qa2!

    If White wants to defend, Qb2 might work. However, to maintain a possible mate threat and keep up the pressure, Qg5 is definitely the better option.
    Another defensive option, in case White feels too pressured and does not want to take a risk, would be to play Qd3.
    Interesting position.
