[edit | edit source]Black blundered. While moving out of the knight's attack and preventing the development of the bishop to c4, this allows for the Queen to be immediately pinned to the king with Bb5 with support from the c3 Knight, leading to the additional threat of a king-rook fork on the c7 square if the bishop is taken.
